Carole Mahoney to Speak at Social Media FTW Fall Conference 2010

PORTLAND, Maine - Mahoney Internet Marketing principal Carole Mahoney has been invited to speak at Portland's premier social media marketing conference, the Social Media FTW Fall Conference 2010. Scheduled for September 22, the event will take place at The Abromson Center on the University of Southern Maine campus in Portland.

Created by Portland entrepreneurs, the conference provides social media education for small business owners, professional marketers and enterprise level executives. The day-long event offers hands-on help to those who are new to social networking, as well as higher level strategy sessions for people already involved in social marketing efforts.

Carole will be leading a session focused on LinkedIn, one of the top social media venues online. She states, "I chose LinkedIn as my topic since it was the very first social networking site I joined. I respect their model, and think it brings real value to its members."

Carole will share her expertise in building a compelling profile, connecting with prospects, customers, and vendors, establishing your reputation, and driving traffic to your website or blog. "I'm really excited and honored to be included with so many great social media marketers," says Carole.

The conference features some 15 presenters, discussing topics ranging from blogging to branding, from internet marketing to measuring ROI (return on investment), from social media for non-profits to building online communities.

While providing a rich and accessible learning opportunity for Maine, the event also attracts attention to Northern New England as a social networking hub.

President and CEO of Portland-based Mahoney Internet Marketing, Carole is an expert in customer experience mapping and web analytics. She graduated Magna cum laude from Franklin Pierce University with a BS in Marketing and Business Management and is currently pursuing certification with the Web Analytics Association.
