Franchise Social Media Summit 2011 Gains Worldwide Audience

Online, September 12, 2011 (Newswire.com) - Franchise Social Media Summit 2011 is quickly gaining an audience of marketers, executives and leaders in franchising throughout the world. Already, the summit has received interest from professionals in Canada, Mexico, South America, Europe, Asia and Australia, and with a little over a week left before the event, its organizers are expecting the list to keep growing rapidly.

Held entirely online, the seminar is an attractive option for international professionals to learn social media skills from leading experts in the United States while avoiding the extremely high travel costs associated with traditional seminars hosted at physical locations.

"Through personal experience and conversations with colleagues overseas, I understand the many frustrations of traveling abroad," said Paul Segreto, co-organizer of Franchise Social Media Summit. "A virtual setting allows anyone to be able to attend, regardless of geographic circumstances. There are no boundaries to this event."

The Franchise Social Media Summit 2011 will take place Sept. 21, 2011, from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. CDT. The agenda is divided into a consumer marketing and franchise sales track, each consisting of four, one-hour long webinars with a comprehensive list of experts in franchising and social media scheduled to present. Additionally, the summit recently announced the signing of Lon Safko, author of best selling "Social Media Bible," to deliver the keynote speech during the lunch hour. Participants can register for either the morning or afternoon track, or both.

"Franchise Social Media Summit 2011 is a first for the franchising world and with the lineup of top-notch gurus we have signed to present it's no surprise that we captured global interest. The United States is a leader in social media and I'm sure that everyone will gain a lot from attending and not lose out on paying for the airfare," Segreto said.

Registration for Franchise Social Media Summit 2011 is available online. The price for one of either track is $349 with the full day of lectures priced at $699. All participants will be provided with a recording of their purchased track and will be able to listen to Lon Safko's speech from noon until 1:00 p.m. Everyone will also receive a free ebook written by Paul Segreto titled "Franchise Social Media: Basics and Beyond."
