No matter your niche, your product, or your service, you can be sure that Facebook, Twitter and other social media platforms will play a crucial role with your business in the future, and there is no time like the present to get started! Whether you’re looking to get noticed, start a new marketing campaign, or extend your current social reach, getting to know these platforms is your road to leveraging them into real business benefits.
As if there were any other kind of business proprietor these days, check out these four conferences for social media-aware business owners:

Touted as the place “where content meets commerce,” the New Media Expo aims to help everyone in attendance to learn the best possible practices in taking their blog, business, or startup idea to the next level via social media.
This three-day conference will bring together business owners of all varieties in an effort to increase understanding of how social media can work in promoting products and services, serving as a great platform for an introduction to the topic for newbies, while still packing an informative punch for those who are old hands at using social media to their advantage.
