Glenice Buck — Mon, 18 Feb 2013 22:28:35 +0000

If you’re thinking a seminar on social media is not relevant to you, think again – unless you’re about to retire. The digital publishing landscape has undergone extraordinary change in the last two years and you cannot expect to remain working in the media without keeping your knowledge up to date. We are focusing on social media as a business tool for sole traders selling their knowledge and expertise to keep it relevant to the majority of our members.

The seminar will be a series of short and punchy presentations, followed by an open forum for discussion and questions. To sweeten the deal, there’s an hour break for yummy hot and cold cocktail food, plus drinks. All at no cost to you. Wow! Organic Crop Protectants, as the evening’s sponsor, will update us on new product developments and registrations, followed by our famously speedy and pain-free AGM.

Booking details. Note that HMA members must book through the website to confirm their place if they want to attend. It won’t be possible to turn up on the night because of catering requirements.

Please advise of any vegan/vegetarian or gluten-free requirements.

Green Expo Sydney has had a ‘makeover’ which is reflected in the smart new logos seen here. We’ve missed a year due to change of season positioning and we are now gearing up for a massive GES in May 2013.
