So all who want to engage in the conversation can this Thursday at the Walker Speakers Series panel discussion Social Media:  Bettering Your Business, Webster University’s George Herbert Walker School of Business & Technology will be streaming live the event on www.webster.edu/live.

“There is little doubt that social media is where the national conversation is taking place today,” said Dr. Benjamin Akande, Dean of the Walker School and moderator of the event.  ”We have gathered together those experts in the area who are leading this charge and we want to share their insight with as many people as possible.”

That means the event is available to Webster students as well as anyone interested in social media no matter where they are in the world.  Event coordinators will also be monitoring Twitter so that questions submitted using the hashtag #WebsterU can be identified and presented to the panelists.

At Webster University’s campus in St. Louis the event will start with a 7:30am networking breakfast followed immediately by the hour long panel discussion  featuring the top social media experts: Chris Reimer, Owner of Rizzo Tees/Chief Marketing Officer, The Scorch Agency; Kathleen Manning, Media Specialist, Monsanto Company; Amber Talbot, Social Media Marketing Supervisor at Scottrade and Dave Collett, Senior Vice President and Global CRL from Weber Shandwick.  Dr. Benjamin Akande, Dean of the Walker School of Business will moderate the event.
