“Community Building Through Innovative Conferences” Featuring Jason Keath
One of the Social Pros Podcasts that I found of particular interest was Episode 37 entitled “Community Building Through Innovative Conferences”. The idea for these types of conferences came from Social Fresh a “social media empire” founded by a New York City’s social media Consultants Jason Keath. Social Fresh is a series of events that bring people together from all types of professional backgrounds to learn more about how to achieve entrepreneurial success using current market research and social media tools. “These events says Jayson, offer participants some actionable content and resources that they can adapt into their own work”.
Why Social Fresh is Relevant Today
It is important for us to recognize that social media does and will continue to affect the way that we communicate. Today’s business success is largely reliant on our ability to effectively share ideas, resources and perspectives. We need to have continual access to information and be ready to use the content we encounter at these events to help mold our own business strategies. More than ever we need to be open to new, innovative ways of learning about and understanding how it is that social media can enhance our roles as people, innovators and entrepreneurs. Social Fresh is an amazing platform that serves to enable further discussion of emerging themes that will have a significant impact on the future of business.
