501 Tech NYC: Connect. Learn. Change the world!

Wednesday, April 20, 2011

6 - 7 p.m. Socializing
7 - 8 p.m. Discussion

You've got burning questions, and Danielle Brigida, Digital Marketing Manager of the National Wildlife Federation (and all-around nonprofit rock star) just may be able to answer them. Over the years our club has been meeting, we hear lots of questions like:

• How can my organization use social media to find and connect with its community?
• What is the ROI of social media and can I even measure it?
• I am early adopter and I love all things tech, but my boss thinks social media is a waste of time. What do I do?
• Is it okay to ignore Foursquare, Gowalla and other location-based services OR do I really need to know how to use them?
• How do you keep up and make time for it all?

Bring your questions and your appetite for a healthy discussion and join us on April 20 for our most lively 501 Tech NYC event yet!
