Where: Orlando Science Center
When: Friday June 4, 2010, 10:00 am Registration, 10:30 am – 2:30 pm Workshop. Advance Registration Required

About: Everyone is experimenting with social media, or so it seems. How do you develop a socialmedia program? Do you just “start” by doing “something” on Twitter, YouTube, Facebook, a Wordpress blog, or something else? Should you develop a plan? What level of expertise do you need in order to be effective?

Join Sultana Ali from Massey Communications to learn how to get started, how to expand existing activities, how to integrate social media in brand development, as well as the important components of a social media campaign. WiFi will be available on site, so you’re encouraged to bring your laptop and/or cell phone to experiment while the expert is on site!

Who should attend: Staff and volunteers from museums, visual and performing arts organizations, libraries, archives, archaeological sites, zoos, or other collecting institutions that are new to or interested in improving their social media practices. The Orlando Science Center offers complimentary parking for workshop participants and invites you to visit exhibitions after the workshop.
