Keynote Address: Sane Social Media – Build Your Online Presence without Losing Your Mind
There is a fine line between building your social media presence, and getting sucked in to the point where you are actually losing money. Sane Social Media will teach you about maximizing your time online, picking the right social media platform for your business, and using your authentic voice to bring in potential customers. In addition, Hannah will teach you how to deal with social media when something big happens – whether it's viral goodness, personal tragedy,  or a huge customer service blunder.
