As Social Media Evolves, So Should Our Approach

Each platform has its own agenda (that changes often). And because of
what each platform prioritizes – how people consume content then changes.
Listen and learn from those who can show you how to roll with those
changes without stressing out about it.

** Before You Go! You’re Not Alone!**

After a three-year hiatus, The Conclave is back with two main goals: champion radio and remind everyone they are not in this alone.
And The Conclave board has created a meaningful final moment of the day. 
We’ll end with an exercise that ensures everyone leaves with either a new contact or a new friend.
It’s called, “Before You Go.”
