Managing Back Ups (March 18, 2010): The presentations by EMC Corporation and JWB staff detailed solutions for managing network back ups.
Social Media (February 18, 2010): “Social Media – How It Can Work for Your Agency” was presented by speaker Shawna Vercher, CEO of VTi-Media, a global media company that specializes in new media including both social media as well as web marketing, print publication, and more.
Social media technology is in the news and around the office everyday – “Are you on Facebook?”…”Did see the tweet from…?” “Did you read what Sam wrote in his blog about ….?” But don’t you want to know how you can use this technology to promote your company without compromising your productivity?
Ms. Vercher described how she used social media during President Obama’s campaign, and lessons on how you can improve your organization’s message using social media.
The presentation was offered simultaneously at JWB or through a webinar.
