Why you should attend
Did you know that Facebook now has one billion active users? (By contrast, the entire population of the United States is 310 million people.) Or that Facebook accounts for over ten percent of all U.S. web traffic? And that over 250 million photographs are posted to Facebook each day? Or that Twitter users are expected to send over 91 billion tweets during 2012? And that over four billion videos are viewed per day on YouTube?
Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, Google+, Foursquare, Tumblr, Pinterest and other social media sites are transforming not only the daily lives of consumers, but also how companies interact with consumers. Indeed, even the largest, most conservative blue-chip corporations have begun to embrace social media; one study revealed that, of the Fortune Global 100, 77% had Twitter accounts, 61% had a presence on Facebook, and 57% had a YouTube channel; these numbers will only increase over time. Many marketing professionals view social media as the single greatest marketing tool to have emerged in this century.
