SIM Chicago Dinner at the Metropolitan Club in the Willis Tower

Social media started out as a toy, a playground where individuals connected and chatted about personal things such as dating, parties and hobbies. As the tools have matured, it has become clear that social media can be both a strategic tool and competitive advantage for enterprises and individuals.

SIM Chicago is pleased to present Todd Nilson, Managing Director at Social Syntax and Owner of GoIndigo, LLC. Todd Nilson specializes in social media strategy focused on employment branding, the hiring process, and candidate experience. Todd will share his experiences that will arm you with:

• The five critical questions to ask yourself before pursuing the social media course for your career
• How to balance social media time against your day job
• The tactics for tracking and measuring what you say and what is being said about you online
• What you will need to start your social media experience, one step at a time

This premier event is a personal branding exercise that is critical for future employment opportunities for the Executive IT individual. Networking and advertising your personal skills and brand is critical for your future.

While LinkedIn has enabled an entire generation of workers to maintain their professional networks more easily, it may be unclear to executives just how these tools can be leveraged to further their own career. In addition, many executives worry about the privacy of their data, how to find the time, and the ultimate value provided by engaging in social media. There are many examples of successful leaders, entrepreneurs, and Fortune 100 executives alike who have employed a host of available online tools to further their personal brand and careers.
We look forward to seeing you September 16th
