July Event

Working the (Real & Virtual) Room

Tuesday, 28 July 2009 | The Fox Hotel, South Brisbane

Networking tips for both REAL LIFE and the virtual world!

We all need to network – some of us prefer face-to-face over social media, others prefer linking up virtually.  Either way, social media mimics real relationships.  Here is your chance to brush up on your skills in both and make some new contacts (both real and virtual!) at the same time!

Come along for Lisa Butler, author of “Networking Exposed” who will help us mix and mingle over a drink, give us some good face-to-face networking etiquette tips, and help you make some real life contacts.

Follow that up with Darryl King from Ireckon and Greg Lexiphanic who can make sure your Facebook etiquette and “tweetiquette” is up to scratch.

At this interactive event, you will:

• Make some new contacts (guaranteed!)
• Learn how to overcome the networking heeby jeebies
• Come away with Lisa’s top five tips for effective face to face networking

AND

• Learn appropriate Facebook & Twitter etiquette
• Pick up some twitter jargon (eg. @'s and RT's)
• Learn how to humanise your profile, and not just be a 'bot'
• How to use FB & Twitter for business purposes and not put your followers off 

PLUS MORE!

• Lisa Butler, Director, Paragon Associates & Author of 'Networking Exposed'
