Better late than never: slightly distracted by the Dublin Web Summit, the Bank Holiday, and some technical hitches, but we finally managed to get the recording of the speakers from the most recent EI Social Media Club up on the Web. The ‘Q’ of the Q&A session at the end is a little ropey, but worth a listen for the good advice that the speakers responded with.
My thanks again to our fabulous speakers Capt. O’Connor and Damien Mulley. Damien mentioned a really useful resource during the session that’s worth a look, http://socialmediagovernance.com/policies.php?f=5, an online database of Government and Non-Profit Social Media Policies.
A big thanks to all those who showed up on the day, stay tuned here on the blog for upcoming announcements on future events in the Social Media Club series.

Almost one week on from our most recent Social Media Club, and I’m still amazed at how many people turned up on a rainy Friday morning: over 100 delegates were on hand to hear Paul Hanly, John Barton and David Bowles share their real-world experiences on using social media to create thought-leadership and build stronger relationships with their customers.
For those of you who missed the briefing, we’ve made the recording of the presentation available on the Enterprise Ireland YouTube channel. The first 60 minutes features the main presentation by Paul and John, and the final 30 minutes is the Q&A session which followed.
I’d like to thank the speakers again, as well as everyone who made it along on the day. We’ll be announcing details of the third Social Media Club in the coming weeks, so please stay tuned for further details.
