I’m Tired of “Doing Social Media": What’s Next?

Sunday, March 13
3:30PM - 4:30PM

Austin Convention Center
Job Market Stage
531 E 4th St

With the adoption of social media at most major corporations complete, a new problem is starting. Seasoned social media professionals need to define career paths for themselves, and their opportunities to do "just social media" fade quickly. Many companies do not have social leadership beyond the Director level and experienced employees find themselves topped out with nowhere to grow. Corporations lose because they lose digital native talent. Individuals lose because they are stuck making lateral moves. This panel discussion intends to explore the looming crisis, and discuss about what corporations and individuals can do about it.
