Social Media Master Kat Mandelstein will be joining #BizForum Chat on Wednesday, September 14th, 8pm to 9pm EDT to discuss, Whether or Not Social Business Inevitable?
Social Media Club, in conjunction with Sensei Marketing, is providing you the opportunity to engage with some of our Social Media Masters in advance of our five city tour which includes Atlanta (August 26th), Los Angeles (September 9th), New York City (September 23rd), Toronto (October 7th) and Kansas City (October 21st).
You can join #bizforum, a weekly Twitter debate that encourage its guests to debate pros and cons of trending business topics. Unlike other Twitter chats, this format is designed to really explore all sides of an issue; where everyone is asked to state if they agree or disagree with a statement and then provide their business experiences to back up their stated position.
