The next ALLICE Event will be held at:

Clarke Willmott 138 Edmund Street Birmingham B3 2ES Location map and directions On:  16th September 2015 Between: 12.00 - 2:00pm Social media - more than marketing Everyone assumes that social media for enterprise is all about selling. In fact it has great potential for personal and professional development. Our next session is a practical introduction to using a variety of social media as part of a personal knowledge management system: learning, curating useful knowledge and building relationships and a personal brand as expert. Helene Russell, author, speaker, and consultant at TheKnowledgeBusiness, will help you to develop: •           an understanding of the variety of social media tools and social networks available to you and their context for knowledge sharing, learning and engagement •           your personal approach to effective management and curation of information, avoiding information overload •           strategies for using web tools in an efficient way •           strategies to build a trusted network, strong relationships and valuable knowledge-sharing conversations and build a personal brand as expert in your field •           tools for tracking the effectiveness of your personal social media strategy. With only 2 hours available, this will of course be just an outline view, but you will leave with plenty of new ideas to try/people to follow and cheat-sheets for getting started.
