Posted by Joshua Paul on Mon, Nov 28, 2011 @ 10:55 AM
For the fifth year in a row, Socious will have a big presence at the ASAE Technology Conference & Expo. In addition to sponsoring the conference, Socious has been asked to lead a Technology Idea Lab.
Paul Schneider, Socious Senior Vice President and Co-Founder, will present an educational session entitled, "The Biggest Challenges with Private Online Communities and the Secrets to Overcoming Them," alongside Chris Bonney of Vanguard Technology.
In this session, association executives will learn:
- The top challenges that associations face when preparing for, launching, and maintaining a private online community
- Ways to overcome these challenges
- Non-technical issues and solutions that can make or break an online member community
"Association executives should expect a raw look at what it takes to create a successful online community. Since associations using Socious online community software average 30% more member engagement than associations using other private social networking platforms, attendees will get tips and advice during this session that are proven to get results." said Paul Schneider of Socious.
