NAIOP Minnesota presents:

Social Media + Commercial Real Estate = ?

THE PROGRAM ...

  • What is Social Media and does it belong in business, and specifically commercial real estate?
  • What are the most used social media tools (Facebook, Twitter, Linked-In) and how are they incorporated into business?
  • Who has drank the Social Media Kool-Aid and why?
  • Commercial real estate case studies … how your peers are using these tools successfully.
  • The Myths, The Realities, The Opportunities ... and what’s next.
  • Are you currently saying these things about Social Media and if so, should you change your thinking?: “I don’t have time for social media.” “My email inbox is too full already and don’t need more junk crowding it.” "I don’t care what others ate for lunch.”
