HSMAI Curacao Presentation ‘How to use Social Media to improve your business’

Friday, November 27th, 2009

Together with the HSMAI Curacao Chapter, we organized a presentation: ’How to use Social Media to improve your business’.

November 26th, over 50 people from various branches, showed their interest in this topic by coming to Floris Suite Hotel to join the presentation.

As the speakers, we touched several social media (platforms) such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube. We addressed the various benefits of using social media for business purposes.
Together with us, a panel of social media users (consisting of Bram Reukers from Heineken, Jerry Gesser of Stradius and Stefan Dubbeling of Floris Suite Hotel), was ready to answer questions of the audience.

At the end of the presentation, it turned out that the interest in using social media is there, but that sometimes the know-how is not.
One important question from the attendants was: Could you organize a training for people who want to use social media, but just don’t know how or where to start?

And of course we would be happy to do so. We will send an update to all people who expressed their interest in this training as soon as possible. (more…)
