For those of us who have been involved in social media for the past few years, we have witnessed a true awakening. 2009 was a year where businesses got serious about tapping into the power of social media for events. We saw an upswing of Facebook fan pages, Twitter walls, unconferences, Tweetups, hashtags and good ‘ol fashion conversations online.
2010 harkens a New Year of continued evolution. A time where business professionals focus on the strategy behind social media and more importantly the cultural shifts that need to happen for it to survive and thrive within the organizations that plan events.
This shift was at the heart of this book. My goal was to facilitate a collaborative eBook with insights from event professionals who have been true practitioners in the art of social media. My challenge to the team was simple: Provide forward-looking insights & guidance on how event planners should evolve their thinking for the future of social media in events.

Lara thanks for the ebook.
I am finding TweetMyEvent (www.tweetmyevents.com) very useful in managing my events. The plainness and easiness of managing my events using this system is remarkable. Same time this free service provides me marvellous utilities such as page views, event search, and event filters by the country and user account.
