1. What is the title of your presentation?

Friend Me? No, Friend You! – Creating Real Relationships with the Internet

2. Is your session geared towards beginner, intermediate, or advanced social media experience levels?

Intermediate

3. Please provide a brief synopsis of your session to include in our attendee guide.

Thanks to the Internet and social media, we can reach audiences like never before. While social media can be a boon to people and businesses alike, many struggle to create true, meet-for-drinks-after-work friendships, partnerships and fans. We’ll talk about how you can reach a more meaningful audience, why your follower count or number of RSS subscribers matters a lot less than the quality of your readership and why sweating the small stuff about this kinda stuff matters.

4. Please provide a brief bio and/or a link to your content so attendees can find out more about you.
