2013 is off to a great start. I learned a lot in 2012 which really allowed me to build a strong foundation for growing my marketing company this year. One of the ways I plan to grow in 2013 is through professional speaking so I’m very grateful to announce that I’ve been hired to speak at the Social Media for Entrepreneurs Workshop on Saturday February 2nd. I’m also very excited to invite all of you to attend and learn how to effectively use social media to accelerate your business in 2013.

Held at the National University Spectrum Business Park campus and Sponsored by National University’s School of Business and Management (SOBM) Center for Entrepreneurship, the Social Media for Entrepreneurs Workshop Series is an excellent opportunity to learn how to make more money through Social Media and network with other successful business leaders.

Please save the date! I will have registration details coming up very soon so I’ll make sure to update everyone once the registration page is up. Some of you reading this may be thinking “I have already seen Melodie speak on those topics”, why would I want to go again? Social media is CONSTANTLY evolving and changing just like my presentations. They are always updated with the latest information. If you saw me speak a year ago, 6 months ago or even a month ago, I can guarantee and promise you that you’ll still learn new things since  there are now new social media sites to keep track of, new rules on existing sites and an abundance of new information that didn’t exist the last time you saw me speak.

If you are interested in hiring me to speak at your event or organization, please contact me and we’ll set up a time to discuss the opportunity. You can find our more information on my speaking experience and topics here.
