Seminar Details: Gerrit Heijkoop and Donald Roos will take you on a journey that will grow your confidence in how to approach new social technologies when organizing your next meeting or event. During this interactive session they will help you understand the new ‘ground rules’ of online Social Networking. They will explain why Social Media are such powerful tools around live events and meetings. Based on the real-time case example of EMEC13, Gerrit and Donald will guide you through several ‘Social Scenarios’. A ‘Social Scenario’ is a combination of a storyline, tools and operations, specifically designed to support a certain business process. This will make it easier for you to determine whether you should consider Social Media at all for your next meeting or event, which resources you need, what to do with them and how to get results.
