Social Media Summit

Location: Harrisburg, PA

Social media accounts for one out of every six minutes spent online in the U.S. There are over 200,000,000 blogs in existence and 77% of internet users read blogs. Social media networks allow an individual to communicate with the world; and the networks are changing how we communicate, collaborate, and how we connect. Social Media is changing society, business, journalism, education, law and politics. And it may be even be altering our brains. Join us on May 23 for the annual Social Media Summit where we will explore the impact social network sites have on our daily lives. The free day-long will consist of panel discussions and workshops featuring authors, academics and other leaders addressing various social media topics.
