Each attendee receives the selected research and discussion questions in advance of the session. Each session begins with a brief presentation which is followed by in-depth small group discussions. At the end of the session, the large group reconvenes and participates in an open discussion about key findings.

We’ve all heard the buzz words – web 2.0, blogs, Facebook, Twitter, but what do they really mean and how do arts organizations determine whether or not integrating social media will return real value? Want to learn how you can avoid being seduced by “shiny object syndrome” (technology hype) or overwhelmed by the number of strategies, tools and tactics? Then this full day session is for you!
In the morning session, we will cover the concepts of social media; ways a nonprofit arts organization can determine when a social media strategy is appropriate, what social media is and how to create an effective social media strategy. This workshop will demystify some of the tools and share examples of successful and not so successful strategies from the arts nonprofit sector.
After lunch, we get interactive with The Social Media Game: Selecting Web 2.0 Tools and Communication Strategies. Using a special deck of cards, participants will work in small groups to develop a strategy, identify challenges, and benefits to integrating social media tools and strategies in a nonprofit organization. Participants will leave the session with one or two ideas to implement back at the office and some additional resources for continued learning. We’ll also demonstrate various tools and techniques relevant to the discussion.
