Event Description

Is social networking good for business or bad for employee productivity?

What is the right mix for using facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, LaunchPadINW and other social networking tools?

Is social networking taking the place of face to face networking to build trusted relationships?

How do you use twitter anyway?

Join us for this informative and interactive discussion with community leaders representing buisness, government, education, non-profit and media who will answer some of these questions while sharing their strategies, ideas and opinions about social networking.

Confirmed speakers include:

- Chris Marr, Washington State Senator, 6th District, Spokane
- Marty Dickinson, President, Downtown Spokane Partnership
- Barb Chamberlain, Director of Communications and Public Affairs, Washington State University Spokane
- Dan Kolbet, Communications Manager, Avista Corp.
- Nick Lawhead, Account Executive, Desautel Hege Communications
- Bill Kalivas, Partner/Co-Founder, LaunchPadINW.com (Moderator)

This will be a great opporuntity to meet new and experienced members of facebook, twitter, LinkedIn, LaunchPadINW, etc. in a fun, networking atmosphere as we celebrate University District month together in association with our partners at the Downtown Spokane Partnership and WSU Spokane!

Comment by Mark Simonds on October 20, 2009 at 1:12pm: Consensus is to use #SpoSM for tweets regarding tonight's forum and future "one-off" social media events in Spokane.
