March 2010 MPI Monthly Chapter Meeting
The Real Benefits of Social Media
Speaker: Paul Furiga, ABC
Attendees
will receive hands-on methods of using social media to increase meeting
attendance and add value and excitement to your meetings; learn ways
meeting planners and suppliers can work together to provide a more
well-run meeting using social media networks; and learn the "politics"
of each social media network and how to use them to achieve your goals
in your current position. You will leave this event with an exciting
"to do" list that you can use the moment you return to the office.
After
two decades in public relations, journalism and government, Paul Furiga

WordWrite has emerged as one of the fastest-growing PR firms in
Pittsburgh. Since 2002, it clients have ranged from the Allegheny
Conference to BASF, FPL Group, Koppers Inc., MEDRAD Inc. and Pfizer.
Before forming WordWrite, Paul was a vice president at Ketchum public
relations in Pittsburgh and editor of the Pittsburgh Business Times.
Paul is a 1980
graduate of Miami University, Oxford, Ohio, with a B.S. in Mass
Communication. He is an Accredited Business Communicator, a designation

(IABC) and held by fewer than 10 percent of all communicators. Paul
