Cobb Galleria to Host Second Annual Digital Summit

The Cobb Galleria Centre will soon play host to Digital Summit 2012, a two-day conference focused on technology, digital marketing and social media. The conference will take place May 9-10.

Billed as Atlanta’s largest technology conference, Digital Summit will feature more than 50 presentations on such topics as customer engagement, social media marketing, analytics, email and online video. Executives from such firms as Google, Turner, Twitter, ESPN, Pandora and Adobe will share their digital expertise.

This year’s conference features more start-up- and entrepreneur-focused content and more networking opportunities than past ones, according to event organizers.

Digital Summit is presented by TechMedia. Conference registration starts at $345 and can be completed online.

Do You “Like” My Office Park?

At the NAIOP event earlier today, Childress Klein’s Connie Engel had the opportunity to participate in consecutive roundtable discussions about social media and the real estate landscape.

Both discussions lasted 30 minutes and Connie, with the help of Tony Wilbert of Wilbert News Strategies, talked about the importance of image and self-branding through social media.

They discussed how Childress Klein’s social media platform at Atlanta Galleria is cutting edge and positions the office park as a current and up-and-coming area. Childress Klein’s use of Facebook, Twitter and the Atlanta Galleria Now blog also position Childress Klein and Connie as thought leaders.

Highlights from the discussion:

• To be successful, you must immerse yourself in social media and have an opinion.
• Don’t throw out your marketing plan and replace it with social media; use social media to supplement your current marketing strategy.
• You have to devote time and resources to be successful; if you have a blog, you should update it at least twice a week so followers don’t lose interest.
• If you can’t do it yourself, hire someone to do it for you.
