There were so many more moments, but for me, this highlighted what I will take away from the event.

I had the pleasure of attending Expo Expo with my husband, Jason in Atlanta this week. Expo Expo is the annual meeting of the International Association of Exhibitions and Events (IAEE). The hot topic of the meeting was social media and since I live for social media, I was really excited to be there. I’m still trying to digest all the information from the week, but a few things stood out for me and I wanted to get them down here before they escape me.

• Every person who is immersed in social media on a daily basis should attend an event outside of social media and talk with people who are just beginning to navigate this new media.
• Social media will never replace face-to-face meetings completely. Social media only makes you want the face-to-face more.
• You can not outsource your social media to a third party. A third party can teach you to navigate the social media jungle, but they can not do it for you.
• Remember to take a step back at times and just listen.

These four points have been spinning around in my head for the last few days and I will digest them and go into more detail in the coming weeks.

What are your thoughts on these points? Do you have anything to add that stood out?
