THIS IS A REPOST WRITTEN BY NICK DENARDIS

Refresh Detroit held a Social Media Panel Discussion on January 21, 2009 that I was lucky enough to be part of. It was the first time I had been part of a panel discussion and it was a great experience.

The panel consisted of (from left to right):

Nick DeNardis, Associate Director of Web Communications at Wayne State University
Shauna Nicholson, Marketing Manager, Biznet Internet Solutions
Chad Wiebesick, Interactive Strategy Director at Perich Advertising + Design. (Moderator)
Kevin Krason, President, Biznet Internet Solutions
Ken Burbary, VP Digital at BIG Communications

This free event took place at Washtenaw Community College in Ann Arbor, Michigan. There was ~30 people who attended from various industries, they came to get a better understanding of social media and how they can leverage it.

The questions brought out not only the direction and how to for beginners but also the best practices and case studies of the advanced users in the social media field.

On the Refresh Detroit Web site they posted the summary of resources and references.

In addition the entire panel was recorded and is available below.

Biznet Social Media Training Event Recap

On January 8, 2009, In Social Media, By Shauna Nicholson

Wow.
(That’s the best way to start this blog post.)

The Biznet Social Media Training event was a great success. We had nearly 150 register, but had to take names for an additional session after 100 due to fire codes. There were a bunch of familiar faces there; if you were there and would like to leave a link to your site in the comments, you’re welcome to do so.)

I was really impressed with the turn out–and the way the Biznet team pulled together to make the event so successful! (Dave Biskner and I were texting after the event and, in his words, “Yeah, no kidding, right!? Best. Team. Ever!”

Unfortunately, we had a problem with the video podcast, but luckily have a couple shots up from the event. Check out Biznet photos on flickr (thanks to Mat)!

The Greenwerks Project Launches to Promote Workforce Sustainability

On December 5, 2008, In Events, Green, By Shauna Nicholson

Biznet has partnered with Facility Matrix Group, Curve Detroit, and Herman Miller on The Greenwerks Project to help bring realistic sustainability to our future (particularly with the workplace).

From the site:

Our goal with the Greenwerks Project is to help businesses and professionals take action and make steps in the right direction. We’ll be sharing ideas, highlighting new products and sharing our experience with office environments, marketing and business.

Here’s what Greenwerks is:

a lens

a strategy

the longview

sustainability

progress

moving forward

The project launched last night with a debut party featuring the green office spaces of Facility Matrix Group and Curve Detroit. I was ultra impressed with their spaces, which included dry-erase paint, sustainable furniture options, and even a living wall! Each detail rocked–from the valet to the sliders! I apologize for the few photos; I’m sure Charlie Wollborg will post more soon!
