What is a mini-conference? Talks, panels, in-depth training all wrapped up in a shared theme, followed by a networking session with drinks and catering. Think conference, but mini. All sessions are jam-packed with information and best practices from real experts.
Our second ever mini-conference will be on the topic of Content Marketing and Social Media in the AI Era. We will showcase speakers that will teach attendees about the latest and greatest ways to advance their social media and web content practices, using AI and Machine Learning, but also help them understand how AI has shaped the algorithms of popular social media sites, and what works (and what no longer does) in this new era of AI marketing.
The event will run as an after-work event, with participants expected around 6PM.
See the profiles of individual speakers for this event below – a couple of more lecturers, panelists, and moderators to be added in the weeks, leading up to the event ✨
