MORE PLACES NOW AVAILABLE
We are delighted to announce we have just agreed with No.29 that we can have some additional attendees at the Charity Training Day. So, if you haven't booked your place please make sure you do so as quickly as possible. We have over 100 already booked with a very limited number of places remaining.
fatBuzz is pleased to announce a very special event for charities in Scotland - a free social media training day. We have always been committed to helping charities whenever we can, however as a commercial organisation, there is only so much we can do on a one to one basis. Borrowing the motto from The Entrepreneurial Exchange, we believe in the notion we should 'work hard, play and give something back'; that's why we are running this exclusive event.
We are fortunate to have the support of No.29 Private Member's Club, Commsworld, Orb Group, The Networking Coach and, Bloom VC to help us run this important training session specially for registered charities in Scotland.
We intend this to be an intensive day of presentations to help charities understand the potential of social media and demonstrate how they can use the various tools to tell their story and create emotional connections. We will explore how to raise awareness, and support fundraisers and fundraising events; every topic will be tailored to charities with the aim of helping to make the most of their time when engaging in social media.
EVENT DETAILS
Date: Wednesday 31st October
Venue: 29 Private Member's Club, Royal Exchange Square, Glasgow
