Social Media in Financial Services
Would have loved to have gone to the Social Media in Financial Services conference, but sadly couldn’t make it. However as if to support the message of using social media in the industry the internet is awash with comment and write-ups on the event.
Of course the ubiquitous Twitter comes into it’s own via the use of the #socialmediafs hashtag from people at and around the conference itself, proving that word of mouth and technology can work together.
Blogging after the event has also happened with:
- Chris Fox offering a very detailed and well written summary of the key topics
- Richard Allum gives us comments, tips and videos from the event itself and the speakers’ organisations.
- IFA Life, the event organiser, is giving people an outlet to provide comment on their forum and has provided a short write-up on the event
So overall it seems to have been a success and it’s good to see these kind of topics being discussed and dragging what is sometimes a very dry and backwards facing industry, albeit belatedly, into the modern world.
