BRUSH UP ON SOCIAL MEDIA FOR BUSINESS

year in a row The Online Business Academy is presenting New Zealand’s biggest social media conference.

The Social Media Conference (#SMCNZ17) brings together delegates and attendees from all over the world, and this year’s conference promises to be the best to date, says organiser Wanita Zoghby-Fourie.

Hosted at SkyCity Auckland, speakers include Vicki Fitch (Facebook live stream expert from the US), John Kapos, aka Chocolate Johnny (the Snapchat expert from Australia), Samantha Kelly aka Tweeting Goddess (Twitter expert from Ireland), Pauline Stockhausen (a speaker at this year’s Social Media Marketing World), Wanita Zoghby-Fourie (CEO of The Online Business Academy), and Katie Byrne (senior social media manager for Xero).

The Social Media Conference is all-inclusive – aimed at small and medium business owners, digital agencies, social media marketers, and anyone who wants to up their game in social media. “The conference covers a wide range of topics and information for people who either need that edge in their social media marketing strategy, or want to learn the fundamentals of using social media as a new revenue channel,” says Zoghby-Fourie.

The Online Business Academy is hosting #SMCNZ17 on 15 and 16 September in Auckland’s prestigious hotel and conference centre, SkyCity Auckland.

Social media gives deeper meaning to our online experience, providing a platform to build relationships and strengthen them, adds Zoghby-Fourie. “It has become highly personal and gives each one of us a tailored experience to buy or sell online, and allows us to collectively enjoy that experience. It gives us the opportunity to do good in the world, sharing stories and contributing to causes that make the world a better place.”
