Scottish Social Media Seminar 2013
Hampden Football Stadium, Glasgow
Tuesday 27 August 2013
Seminar objectives
We are all well aware of social media, Facebook, Twitter and apps but few are making full use of the opportunities. The technology is fast moving and sometimes the hype tends to run ahead of what's genuinely achievable. This seminar will provide real examples of the use of social media in supporting local authority services - street cleansing and waste, soft fm, housing services and highways as well as council communications. It will showcase examples of local authorities just starting out in social media as well as those with an established approach, providing learning regardless of which stage you are at.
