Windy City Social’s 3rd annual Social Media Summit was created to bring together brands, bloggers, agency contacts and consultants to connect and share best practices from all marketing channels related to social media.
You’ll walk away with actionable tips you can use right away at the office. Sponsors walk away having introduced their product to a positively charged, influential audience in an interactive setting. Everyone walks away with great business contacts and a renewed passion for their job.
There was so much great content to share this year that we added a bonus day. You can either attend just the full day of sessions on October 26th or opt to also attend the bonus session & Mom, Inc. book signing on the 25th by purchasing a VIP ticket.
