Recap: Roundtable: Becoming the Influential 1% on Social

The evening was under way on a cloudless, warm, and beautiful day at the historic Mountain View Train Depot that houses Savvy Cellar Wine Bar & Wine Shop.

As the full house of attendees started to assemble slowly but steadily, there was ample opportunity to greet familiar faces and mingle with fellow marketers interested in learning to extract the most out of Social Media.

Richard Bliss who manages Executive Social Strategy at NetApp, featured speaker for the evening, had plenty of time to get to know the crowd.

As everyone got their share of wine and snacks, it was time to start the show. After introducing the landscape of the social media channels, Richard really got down to the subtleties of Twitter. Everyone learned something new, including Richard, as some audience members had answers for some of the super-specific questions raised on the floor.

Next on the list was LinkedIn which was discussed in the same manner. The evening ended with a post-talk networking segment that gave an opportunity to make additional contacts among fellow professionals.
