Members of Derby-based Creative Industries Network are to be
given an insight into the opportunities offered to businesses by
online networking site LinkedIn.
Rob Wilmot, who co-founded Freeserve and is now a director at
BCS PR, Digital and Creative, will discuss his own experience with
the social networking site and how he uses it every day to build
and strengthen relationships for mutually beneficial gain at Why
LinkedIn?
The event takes place on July 15 at QUAD Business Club in Derby
from 6pm until 8pm.
With over 70 million members worldwide, LinkedIn enables its
members to establish an extended network of professional contacts
and take advantage of business opportunities.
Rob commented: "Social media has become increasingly valuable to
businesses, but many professionals just don't know how to utilise
it to its full potential.
"Why LinkedIn? will explain how to get the most out of online
networking, offering attendees advice ranging from online
etiquette, to complementing online networking with face-to-face
contact."
And he added: "LinkedIn can be used every day to build,
maintain, and leverage meaningful and mutually-beneficial
relationships, and this event is an exciting opportunity for
businesses to discover how they can maximise their potential
through online networking."
