Week 2 Practice: Networking Events & Organizations

Upcoming Event:

Ragan's Social Media Conference

Social Media Conference for PR, Marketing and Corporate Communicators at Disney World

The purpose of this activity is to become more familiar with conferences and events that are in my desired industry. By learning about these events, I can plan to attend them to further my education and start to build professional relationships. 

This event will teach you how to use social media to further engage your brand. It applies to my professional pursuits because I plan on using social media not only in my personal endeavors but business as well. This conference teaches best new practices for social media platforms (Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, etc.), social media strategies, how to boost followers engagement and also how to use digital storytelling. Although I am skilled in some areas of this conference, it's always good to attend these to refresh your brain and learn new techniques that weren't taught before. Keeping updated in all things media will not only help me further pursue my career goals, but also allow me to stay an updated media communications professional. An organization that I think would be interested in joining this conference is Sovis Productions. They are a videography company that hasn't started their social media engagement yet and this conference would be of huge help to them. Since they don't have a Facebook page or have begun to advertise themselves online, it's all been word of mouth, this conference would teach them everything they need to know about engaging potential clients and staying updated throughout the year. The mission of this organization is to help media socialist to be successful in their businesses. Ragan has been the leading publisher of corporate communications, public relations, and leadership development newsletters and their conferences draw in more than 3,000 professionals annually. By providing real world solutions and professional speakers, they are able to reach out to business owners and employees in helping them succeed in what they do.
