Today, social media platforms provide a layer of constant communication and data capture over our personal and professional lives. This makes social media an irreplaceable part of businesses, organisations and communities that want to establish a presence and voice, interact with their audiences in real time, and help those audiences achieve their goals. 

Social media is maturing and some big winners and losers are being determined. It's now more important than ever to be brushing up on the latest trends and best practices. Our expert panel of social media strategists and managers will give you their take on how they manage their brands, and how they foster engagement, and what makes social media critical to their organisations in 2017.

Join us for networking and a panel discussion about brand management and engagement using Social Media.
