“This is a wonderful and affordable opportunity, especially for those who were not able to attend the Vocus User Conference. Attendees will be able to ask questions and speak directly with the presenting social media experts, discuss new trends and influencers in the social media space, and walk away with a wealth of information on how to apply what they’ve learned to improve their social media strategies. Brian and I are very excited to be a part of it,” said Breakenridge.
The virtual conference will consist of recorded footage from the June 4th, Vocus Users Conference followed by a live chat session with the presenters. In addition, the agenda includes six other sessions on topics ranging from Twitter best-practices and Blogger relations to an integrated approach to PR and emerging media.
The cost for attending the Vocus Virtual Conference is $129. For additional information on the agenda, featured speakers and registration visit http://www.vocus.com/vc2009/.
