Burlington Social Media Breakfast

Join some of the top social media gurus in a morning of social media at Champlain College. This is a great event for online marketers, companies and organizations who are trying to figure out how to move their businesses into social media.

During the first part of the morning event we have three speakers sharing their expertise and experience in social media. During the second part, we have hands-on breakout groups to help a local Vermont non-profit. You’ll work with other attendees and our speakers.

For those of you who missed out on SXSW, we’re bringing a little taste of Austin to Burlington.

Breakfast is included, too. Don’t miss it!
