Smaller Indiana

Making people and ideas findable

Hey gang - we need your help.

We have some great panels for our Saturday Social Media Summit, but no topics. What do you want to hear them talk about?

Should our tech panel concentrate on the latest blogging software or the coolest new gadgets bloggers can use to post video updates to their site?

What about our foodies - will they talk about the organic food movement or the best place to find a steak in their towns?

Our business panel could talk about almost anything, from leveraging the latest social media tools to grow your online reputation to proper business blogging etiquette. It's up to you!

Of course our mom panel could go on for days about Donald Trump's hair, but I'd rather hear them discuss how they manage to be such awesome bloggers, parents, and professionals all at the same time. I have a hard enough time just being a good dad!

So - let us know. What do you want to hear about at the Saturday Social Media Summit? We want to know.

Topics: The really tough one for any business is ROI. There are some cases where determining a return on social media investment is completely measurable and immediate. An e-commerce site is a great example of this. If you tweet a discount code, you can measure the people who respond. But for a business that is involved in acquiring clients and building relationships over a span of several months, even years, the impact of social media is not easily measured. How we go about planning, managing, and reporting the cost of social media to our clients or our higher-ups should be a rather interesting discussion.

For Tech: I think the interesting discussion is what it takes to implement a social media program that involves a team of people rather than the efforts of one or two. What are the components need to meet the needs of multiple stake-holders, and then how is the infrastructure managed and grown as tech continues to change and evolve?

Foodies: From the farm to the table. How does Social Media improve the quality of what we eat, and how can social media make it better still?
