Are you an economic development professional and still wondering what is all the fuss about the use of social media for investment attraction? If your answer is “yes”, then I have very good news for you.
Isabelle Poirier, president of Intelegia will be a co-presenter of the webinar, “Social media for investment attraction: Seizing the opportunity” hosted by Grow Our Region and Saskatchewan Economic Development Association (SEDA). This one hour live webinar will be held on May 31st, 2011 at 1pm CDT (3pm EDT) .
During Isabelle’s presentation, attendees will have a great opportunity to learn about how social media can play a significant role in an economic development agency’s promotional mix when it comes to attracting and retaining investments in a region. She will share and highlight some global best practices, insights from Canadian cities that have already adopted social media applications to market themselves to potential investors and practical tips to having a sustainable Web 2.0 presence for economic development.
