University Of Phoenix - Event Sponsor
Business Connections of Greater Madison Presentation today at 5:00 pm at University of Phoenix eastside campus on High Crossing (you can see the building from the beltline).
Great success story on growing a LinkedIn group using various social media. The result was the group grew from a small 65 people to over 700 by the time of the presentation. There was a plan to do this and it was very strategically thought out by Kristin Mastin who is the manager of the group. By specifically inviting key people into the group, speaking with many personally, via email and on LinkedIn, Kristin has created a very active and engaged group.
Many of these members will meet for the first time tonight during a presentation I will be giving on LinkedIn tips and techniques. It will be great to hear their questions, opinions of the Event app in LinkedIn and shake hands with many of the attendees who actively Linked with me before the event.
The message of this exercise is two fold. The network has grown which does matter in social media. The second is the pulling the group together for a face to face networking opportunity.

Excellent presentation at University of Phoenix Madison last night. Wendy obviously knows how to get the most out of LinkedIn and shared a lot of valuable information with a great audience.
