Trivera Interactive, Corporate Identity Solutions, and Clear Verve Marketing have partnered to develop Social Media University, an educational event that will provide hands-on learning and real-life examples of the most prominent social media tools.
Jay Steinfeld, CEO of Blinds.com will give the keynote presentation of how one of America’s largest online brands has used the power of the web to transform a small business into an internet powerhouse and how he is using social media to use the brand’s fan base as fuel for even greater success.
The full day event, conceived by Tom Snyder, president and CEO of Germantown-based Trivera Interactive, will bring together local social media experts who will share real-life experiences with social media and help business owners embrace best practices for this new era of communications.
“As an interactive marketing company, many of our clients were approaching us with questions on nearly every aspect of social media,” Snyder said. “Because social media is growing and changing so quickly, it is difficult for many people, even marketers, to keep up with all the changes. We felt that if we brought together a group of people we admired and gave business owners the opportunity to learn from these subject matter experts, attendees would walk away with a complete experience at a much higher level than we could provide by hosting a short event on our own.”
Presenters at the event will include: Chris Remington and Katie Fleming of Trivera Interactive, Sue Marks of Pinstripe Talent, Augie Ray from Fullhouse, Jon Kurozawa from K6 Marketing, Christina Steder from Clear Verve Marketing, Katie Felten from MKElive.com, Sara Meaney from Comet Branding, Blake Samic from Actions Talk, Scott Baitinger from Streetza Pizza and Mader Communications, Joe Woelfle from Blatz Liquor and Phil Gerbyshak the Make it Great Guy.
BizTimes Media is a media sponsor of the event which will be held on Wednesday, July 29 at the Italian Community Center, 631 E. Chicago St., Milwaukee, from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 a.m. Tickets are available for $115 per seat, which includes continental breakfast, and workshops, and are available at www.socialmediamilwaukee.com. Space is limited.
The after event tweetup, Networking in a Social Media World, hosted by Corporate Identity Solutions at Hilo Martini lounge, 411 E. Chicago St., Milwaukee, costs an additional $12 and will offer an opportunity to exchange ideas with other attendees and learn how businesses are using "Tweet-ups" to develop new business.
