Grow Our Region and SEDA are pleased to present this special event to our members. This presentation marks Part 1 of 5 in SEDA’s 2011 Webinar Series.

Social media is no longer a fad. It has become an integral component of the marketing mix of large corporations and has allowed small business to be innovative in terms of promoting their products or services. Many community leaders are asking: Does social media play a role in economic development? Agencies from around the world have selected to invest in their sustainable presence on blogs, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and YouTube.

In this 1 hour webinar, participants will have the opportunity to understand the core benefits of using social media for economic development. Based on three years of examining the use of social media for investment attraction, Speaker and President of Intelegia, Isabelle Poirier will discuss:

The role and impact that social media has on the evolving business environment that economic development officers have to deal with.
The specific applications of each tool and global best practices.
The importance of obtaining a profile on LinkedIn and Facebook for the agency and its personnel.
The key elements to a sustainable social media strategy for economic development.

Many of us have responded to the benefits of using social media by setting up a Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn account; but are we truly taking the next step of engagement? Verona Thibault, Executive Director of SEDA will facilitate these considerations by sharing her experiences in adopting Web 2.0 in her communications strategy. Verona took the plunge in February and within two weeks she recognized the benefit and now wants to ensure that practitioners and community leaders also reap the return that can be generated by a very modest investment in time and resources.

Please join us for this live presentation. If you are a busy economic and community development professional, you won't want to miss this! The cost for this webinar is $25.00
