The North Mason County Chamber of Commerce is the proud creator of this event. Our chamber took a leadership role in introducing and utilizing social networking and social media for our members and the region over two years ago.
During that time, membership has doubled.
Thank you to the Board of Trustees of the North Mason Chamber for your boldness and risk taking. You jumped out in front of the social networking revolution and it is paying off, big time.
We still have a couple of speakers to announce but already we are garnering national attention and sponsorships. Please take a moment to browse and support the list of sponsors and presenters.”
