Lately it seems there is no escaping social media. Everywhere you look it's "Follow us on Twitter" or "Visit our Facebook page." But with most of the talk being about how Shaq, Jimmy Fallon, and Demi Moore are tweeting it up and little public discussion about the power and value of these new tools for the local business person.

At first glance it is easy to think that Facebook is for young kids, Twitter is for obsessive narcissists, and LinkedIn is for people looking for a job. This session is going to change that perception and help you get started using social media tools to transform your business.

Imagine for a moment how powerful it would be if:

• You never lost touch with friends, colleagues, or family members again.
• You could connect with people and organizations of interest to you with just a few keystrokes.
• Geographical barriers no longer held any practical constraints over your business or career.
• You could ensure that your marketing message was seen by only those who have expressed an interest in what you have to sell.

Hidden behind all the glitz and glamor of these new shiny toys are some of the most transformative business tools in a generation. And like the telephone, PC, and cell phone these tools will change the way everyone does business.
