Last Month's Meetup
For our March WebTide community meetup we were excited to host the UA Strategic Communications Social Media team, who shared information for approaching social channel conversations - as well as their experience using the Spredfast/Khoros mangement tool.
If you weren't able to join us in person, you can still find tons of useful tips and social media management information on the Strategic Communications Social Media resources page:
