What Are ‘Birds of a Feather’?
During these lightly structured networking breaks, we’ll have various spaces throughout the
event designated as convening nests for birds of a feather based on topic area. Birds of a
Feather include Social Media for Beginners, Small Business, B2B Social, Agencies, and
Blogging/Content. Each flock will be led by an expert and will provide opportunities to
connect, share, and synthesize key take-aways from the Social Brand Forum.
