@midWest the "getting practical" social media conference is seeking your expertise. Our "conference by design" wants to address three levels of interest; beginning, amateur and pro. We want our topic draw to be fun and educational. Mostly, we want our attendees to walk away with tangible practical steps to move forward in the world of social media.
