Program One, starting at 8:00 AM, is titled “How Do I Use Social Media in My Business”, Vermilion Schools Technology Coordinator Shawn Bergman will discuss how businesses can use social media daily, how to delegate social media and how to be a better listener. 

Program Two will start at 7:00 PM, and is titled “Using Social Media to Keep and Capture New Customers”.  Christopher Scully, founder of V-AllTech, will offer business owners ideas on how to expand their online presence, the online footprint, how to target and acquire new customers, and how to use social media for customer retention.
