October Meeting: Social Media Truth or Dare

Join us on October 14th as our "Truth or Dare" series takes on Social Media, an area some technical communicators have engaged enthusiastically, some view as a necessary evil, and many still wonder, "what's the point?"

This meeting features a panel of local social media experts who will tackle social media, what works, what doesn't, and what - exactly - is the point.

For more information about the panel, location, and registration, visit our website.
