Please note: The three sessions are held on weeknights (approximately one hour each), once per week over a three-week period. By purchasing a ticket you are committing to attend all three sessions.

Over the course of this 3-week “semester,” you will learn the fundamentals and best practices necessary to effectively use social media tools for business - helping you extend your online presence, better connect with customers, and grow leads. We’ll emphasize key tools like Google Reader, blog publishing platforms, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Foursquare.

Sessions are capped at 20 participants to guarantee hands-on, individualized attention from the Lava Row team members.
