Hey folks. It was great meeting a lot of you at my first SMC meeting last night at Harper’s. As I mentioned to a few of you, I am in the process of putting together the first Social Media Capital – Columbia conference for Dec. 2, which will be held at Midlands Tech College Northeast campus. I am on the lookout for 5-8 people who would like to be speakers on any aspect of social media as it relates to business use. If you are interested contact me at davodphale@yahoo.com.
I have also developed a social media / Internet marketing certificate program for MTC that I started teaching. If you are interested in the classes, take a look at the MTC website and search for Social Media. We have about 6 classes left this term (til end of April).
Thanks again for the hospitality and I look forward to next month’s meeting.
