On Tuesday, April 23rd, we held our social media event, How To Rock Social Media...Visually!, at the Grohe Live! New York City showroom. Let me start off by saying, Wow! what a beautiful space to experience. Very modern, flexible and inviting, not to mention the wonderful staff who helped prepare and make this event possible.

I am positive that all our members will agree, Lena West is a fantastic speaker! She actually made social media...fun! And with all the tips and tricks like checking group stats on LinkedIn and creating short videos with Vine, their was options for everyone no matter how big or small of an online presence one wanted to create. Some of our members wasted no time in putting their new knowledge to work, and started tweeting, pinteresting and facebooking right in the middle of the event. In a typical setting one might say, "how rude", but at a social media event, Why Not! 

I hope you all enjoyed and learned a lot from this event. Remember to sit down with that cup of tea, find your market and be social online. We can't wait to see how all of your blogs and media platforms evolve in the weeks to come. Leave us a comment and let us know your thoughts on the event and how do you feel about tackling social media now? 


Stay tuned for more images,
