This year, we decided to put together a half day summit for those of you who are interested in learning more about social media. Whether you wear all the hats at a small start up and now all of the sudden you’re supposed to be the social media guru (how’d that happen?) and you’re just trying to understand what the Twitter is or you’re juggling seven accounts at an agency, writing content in your sleep (coffee is life), this half day will be packed full of information nuggets for you. This Summit will happen on Tuesday, October 11th from 12-5pm at Moulin on Choteau. Reserve your ticket on our registration page!

Here’s what we’ve got. Come early and come hungry.

Check in, Lunch and Networking will start at noon. Hurry up and grab a bite before the Keynote Panel that starts at 12:30.
