ITWeb’s Social Media Summit: a resounding success

Last week, marketers, CIOs and business consultants alike gathered at the Forum in Bryanston to listen to the créme de la créme of the social media world give their tips on how best to use social media for your business. The ITWeb Events team organised a stellar line-up of speakers – among them Mike Sharman: owner of Retroviral Digital Communications and Fred Baumhardt, CTO of Microsoft South Africa. I’ve compiled a list of some of my favourite Tweets from the day.
