Sequenced by aimClear, the three track levels include the introductory-level Boot Camp Track, intermediate-level Channels Track and the Advanced Track for cutting-edge marketers. In addition, all attendees have the opportunity to learn from top-ranked attorney Jamie Nafziger, partner at Dorsey and Whitney, on how to navigate the tricky, unchartered waters of social during the Social Media & The Law Round Table.

Marketers’ social toolkits will swell with courses and topics that cover:

• The integration of social, local and mobile online marketing
• Targeting techniques and tips
• Sponsored stories, ads, PPC and more

“The caliber of talent for this event is remarkable.

This powerhouse crew stays abreast of the ever-changing social landscape, and will arm attendees with top-shelf tactics and actionable takeaways.”
