Le premier Social Media Workshop in Paris, France

The Social Media Club French Chapter is  proud to unveil some details of the first Social Media Club Workshop, which will be held on May 15th, in Paris, France.

After reviewing two years of monthly conferences and sessions and having conducted many training and consulting missions, we came up with a detailed list of issues companies need to address to design an efficient social media strategy. Through an original format, the finest social media experts will train professionals and enable them to forge their own approach. This won’t be a series of lectures nor discussion sessions, this will be about designing your own social media project for your company and implementing it right away!

Roll up your sleeves and get ready to work along with Chris Heuer and experts from Rue89, AF83 and the Metrics Factory.

All right, but how will it be different from other conferences and seminars?

Instead of just listening to lecturers and trying to apply others’ best practices to your case, you’ll be asked to build up your own project throughout the day.  You’ll be provided with the basic analytical tools at the beginning of the training and the different session, held in very small and interactive groups, will be as many inputs for your reflections. Organizers and workshop leaders will stay available at any time to support you and challenge your project. At the end of the day, you and your team will present your project to the SMC experts and get their feedback immediately.

Workshop leaders and sessions will include:

• Chris Heuer, “Introduction: how to design a social media strategy” + “Social Media Tools for beginners”
• Rue89, “Communty Management: Make your users work for you!”
• AF83 , “How to recruit your community?”
• The Metrics Factory, “How to turn your social media metrics into gold?”

Participation is limited, so if you are in Paris, don’t hesitate to apply now (and save some money, with the “early bird” pricing). We are also currently still seeking sponsors for the workshop, contact us for more details.
