Pick the session that suits your needs and aspirations. We’ll do the rest. 
Hi. We’re Lani and Allen Voivod, co-owners of Epiphanies, Inc, and the social media success partners for the New Hampshire Division of Economic Development.
As spousal-preneurs who’ve been using, sharing, and presenting online marketing and social media strategies since we moved to NH in 2003, we’re passionate about how these giant shifts in the ways we all connect and communicate empower bold entrepreneurs, businesses, and organizations to leverage resources, play bigger, and THRIVE in myriad ways.
We’d like to invite you to be our guest at the 2nd Annual “A-Ha!” NH Social Media Business Summit. For FREE.
Last year, there was room for 100 lucky people at PSNH’s gorgeous Energy Park facility, with dozens of people on the waiting list. The positive feedback from attendees blew us away. A few highlights:
“That was an AWESOME presentation Monday and my head is still spinning (in an entirely good way) from it.” – James “Skip” Burns, Partner at V3 Leadership
“Great job again today. I did learn several things about Twitter and was good to see examples of how it works. Keeps me on track! Will probably blog about the day myself!” –Link Moser, owner of Windhill Design
“Wow, wow, heck yeah and wow…the Social Media Business Summit was an absolute A+ success that will resonate with attendees and shape the way that they conduct their current and future communications efforts. Thank you so much for your dedication to making this event a hit!” –Steve Boucher, Communications and Legislative Director of the NH Division of Economic Development
So, as we began to plan the 2nd Annual Summit, these two questions became the most important:
- How can more people like you have the opportunity to attend?
- How can you be sure you’ll get content at the right level of your experience?
Between fire codes and the variety of experience people have, you can imagine how challenging these questions are. Hopefully, you’ll love this solution, inspired by the number “2.”
So…Are You Ready to Use the Power of Social Media to Boost Your Visibility, Reach, Community, and RESULTS?
(This is where you say, “YES! Yes, I am!”)
We’ve split the content of this year’s Summit into a morning and an afternoon session. Each session is limited to the first 100 people who register, and thanks to our renewed partnerships with PSNH and the state’s Division of Economic Development, we’re thrilled to once again make this a FREE Summit to benefit businesses and organizations using these platforms to elevate the fortunes of people in NH and beyond.
The morning session is designed for people who either haven’t yet started in social media, or who are just beginning to test the waters.
The only requirement to attend the Morning Session is an open mind and a commitment to being fully present at the session, once you decide to register. Here’s what you’ll enjoy:

Already socially savvy? Try this…
The Afternoon Session is designed for people who are already running with one or more of the major social media platforms – including Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, and blogging. If you know the lingo, the potential, and are ready to take your brand’s online presence to a new level of revenue and results, the afternoon session is for you.
Our goal is to ensure afternoon attendees are playing at or near the same level so the content presented and conversations inspired are right up your alley. So, if you’re responsible for the Facebook Page of a business/organization with more than 100 “Likers,” you’ve been blogging actively for at least six months, or you’ve been actively tweeting for at least six months, then this is this session for you:
Afternoon Session
For social media enthusiasts, community leaders, marketing mavens, brand managers, bold entrepreneurs, and visionaries of mission-driven organizations
« Check-in (1:00-1:30)
« Welcome and Opening Remarks (1:30-1:40)
« Act I (1:40-2:30): Facebook Marketing: Customization, Fan-Building, and Advertising
« Act II (2:40-3:30): Engaging the Social Senses: Listening, Monitoring, and Measuring
« Act III (3:30-4:20): Cross-Industry NH Success Panel, featuring: Erica Murphy, Director of Communications and Community Relations, The Common Man; Paul Boynton, Author of Begin With Yes and CEO of Moore Center Services; Steve Boucher, Communications and Legislative Director at NH Division of Economic Development; Abby Fichtner, Microsoft’s Developer Evangelist for Startups
