On Monday, July 21, 2008, the Social Media Club Boston will be teaming with the AMA Boston to present a session on social networks. Join these two groups for “How to Build a Killer Social Network: Understanding and Optimizing Social Media.”

No matter how busy you are, you can network like a pro with the panel’s insightful, proven techniques. You’ll learn how to get the most from your membership in online communities, from Facebook and LinkedIn to MySpace and Twitter. Our keynote and panel, moderated by noted blogger and social media expert Chris Brogan, brings together some very smart people, including representatives from Facebook and LinkedIn (I’ve also been asked to be a panelist).

Their lively discussion will cover how to:

• Build an effective personal network based on relationships, not just numbers
  
• Manage the shift in media spending from traditional vehicles to online communities
  
• Keep pace with the rapid changes in the world of social media

The keynote speaker is John Moore, senior vice president and director of ideas and innovation at Mullen Media Hub, who has worked closely with MySpace and Facebook. In his presentation, he’ll outline the latest in social media and how it applies to today’s marketers.

Join us at Boston’s newest hotspot, The Exchange Conference Center, located on the waterfront in Boston’s historic Seaport—with delicious summertime appetizers from Legal Sea Foods.
