Yes? Then, you need to check the new LinkedIn. Here’s a quick recap from a LinkedIn workshop led by me, Barbara Rozgonyi, at the MPI Chicago Area Chapter TechCon conference. We also covered how to use LinkedIn to grow your career for meeting planners and event professionals.
How to Use LinkedIn to Build Your Business for Meeting & Event Pros
LinkedIn supports a variety of business strategies including recruiting new employees, generating leads, qualifying prospects, researching your industry – and the competition, locating professional services, managing contacts, and extending marketing and PR communications online.
