Social Networking While Intoxicated

Social networking might seem easy, but it's not. It's even harder when you're intoxicated. Let's face it - all the books and blogs about "how to use social media" and "how to work a room" assume that you're sober.

In this Ignite talk, Mark will assume that you're drunk. Learn his five rules of successful social networking while intoxicated, and turn these skills into fame and fortune as your personal brand rises!
