Top Tweets from the YouToo Social Media Conference

We’ve been attending the award-winning YouToo Social Media Conference since its inception in 2008, and have served as a volunteer and sponsor since 2010. This year, YouToo celebrated its 10-year anniversary with keynote presenters, Greg Josken of Disney Theatrical Group and Juntae DeLane of the Digital Branding Institute, and we were proud to serve as the social media sponsor. Complete with experts, panels and presentations, YouToo explored trends, best practice and emerging technology in the social space, along with ethical and practical implications for PR pros and students.
