Earlier this year, we designed and delivered the “A-Ha!” NH Social Media Business Summit, a day-long event especially for 100 entrepreneurs, global brand players, and passionate professionals in mission-driven organizations. It was sponsored by the state’s Division of Economic Development, PSNH (the state’s largest public utility, which also hosted the event at Energy Park), and the Stay-Work-Play initiative (tied closely to the University System of New Hampshire, with a goal of creating opportunities to retain more of the state’s college graduates).
Here in NH, social media is blossoming. And yet, there are many folks out there allowing themselves to be overwhelmed at best, or aggressively saying what a waste of time they think it is at worst. The Summit was intended to reach both parties and introduce social media to them in a non-threatening, value-oriented way.
To continue in support of that mission, you’ll find another Web 2.0 platform being utilized here on the “A-Ha!” blog – Slideshare. Think of it as YouTube for PowerPoint.
Below is the presentation file from the first session of the “A-Ha!” NH Social Media Business Summit, Beyond the Hype: A No-Nonsense Introduction to Social Media’s Real Power and Promise for NH Businesses (Especially in This Untamed Economic Environment).
Slideshare not only allows you to post your presentations, but to sync up audio narrations of those presentations into what they call “slidecasts.” Though this one isn’t one of our slidecasts (yet), we have others on our Slideshare page. Come on over and check out the scene!
P.S. We used slidecasts to create the webinar-style tutorials that form the foundation of our Social Media Kick Start Virtual Boot Camp, too.
