Having previously served as the editor-in-chief and executive editor of the technology weekly, Computerworld, Gillin's knowledge and experience with digital media goes years back and runs deep. Along with hundreds of articles on the topic, Gillin is author of three books on social media, including "The New Influencers: A Marketer's Guide to the New Social Media," "Secrets of Social Media Marketing: How to Use Online Conversations and Customer Communities to Turbo Charge Your Business" and "Social Marketing to the Business Customer."
During his presentation, Gillin will share insights and information about the wide variety of social media channels available and the relative strengths and weaknesses of each.
