Interested In Social Media? My Top Sessions For SAPPHIRE NOW from Madrid

[Former Member]

I expect that I will be quite a busy bee at SAPPHIRE NOW running the social media program but as I browsed through the new Agenda Builder feature on SAPPHIRENOW.com I was just a little curious to see what there might be for me.  I decided to tap in "Social Media" in the search field to see what sessions might be of interest to my role (should I get a spare 30 minutes and a chance to have a coffee!) and was quite surprised to see there's actually quite a lot.

So in the interest of sharing, if you’re planning to go to SAPPHIRE NOW and are interested in the impact of social media on business, here's a short list of the ones that tempted me. See you there?
