Concentrate Speaker Event: Building Community Through Social Media

From charity drives to public initiatives to crowd sourcing, social media is playing an ever bigger role in our community. But how can we further harness the web to create a stronger sense of place in Ann Arbor?

Funny you should ask, because Chad Wiebesick and Ed Vielmetti will be addressing that very topic at Concentrate’s next Speaker Series event.

Chad is the Social Media & Interactive Marketing Director at PWB Marketing Communications. A nationally-recognized award-winning digital marketing strategist, is also former president of the Ann Arbor Ad Club.

Ed is Ann Arbor’s quintessential networker and local blogger, having founded the long-running and very successful A2B3 lunch table (Ann Arbor Bi Bim Bop).

Together, the two will talk about Ann Arbor’s social media identity, where it’s found success, what it could do more of, and how other cities are leveraging social media to strengthen their community. Sign up now for tomorrow’s September 22nd event!
