Next week I will be speaking in Boston at the International Career Consortium Annual Conference.

I am really looking forward to this event and will be talking about using social media to engage alumni.

Here is my presentation description.
Creating Global Communities: Using Advanced Social Media Strategies to Engage International Education Alumni Social media is a powerful tool that can be harnessed to create global communities that connect people around the world to enhance career opportunities and networks.  This session will discuss means for career development professionals to utilize social media to engage international education alumni (both study abroad and international students) in creating these communities.  This session goes beyond the basics and assumes some intermediate to advanced knowledge of social media tools.

If you are going to be in the Boston area next week I highly encourage you to consider attending this event.  There are a lot of great sessions in addition to mine. :)

The deadline to register is tomorrow - April 6th.
