Bring your WiFi-enabled laptop, and be ready for a fast-paced, beginner's introduction to what you need to know about networking with two of the most powerful social media tools: LinkedIn and Twitter. Learn from an expert who is determined to make social media accessible to anyone.

We'll talk about....

• Building an impressive profile on LinkedIn
• Using LinkedIn to establish your professional credentials and reputation
• Finding all of those interesting people on Twitter 
• Why Twitter is becoming such a significant way to connect and communicate, and how you can join the conversation

If you keep hearing about the importance of new media, but aren't sure where to start, this session is your chance to jump in and "make yourself smart" in a small-group, friendly environment.

We are limiting class size to 6 people, for the most personalized interaction. Attendees will each receive a comprehensive list of helpful Web 2.0 links and guidance.

Following the workshop, we'll continue the discussion informally over lunch at a nearby restaurant, for those who are interested.

The Every Dot Connects team is always available on our Facebook business page, LinkedIn, Twitter, our blog and elsewhere online to help you navigate social media, even after the workshop.
