When women support women, incredible things happen! Last night, my colleague MeLissa and I from Raleighwood had the honor of attending the “Climate Tech Connect: Networking and the Future of Climate Tech in NC” event at The Frontier RTP. Hosted by Women+ in Climate Tech, the gathering brought together women from diverse backgrounds and industries, all driven by a shared passion for addressing climate change through technological innovation.
Fast forward three months, and I received a ticket (thank you, Raleighwood) to Midtown Raleigh’s biggest bash of the year, the State of Midtown. It was hard to contain my excitement at the sheer fancy-pants vibe of the whole thing, and now I can’t wait to spill the beans about my awesome experience with you all!
Raleighwood founder Lisa Jeffries Nobling was recently interviewed by Raleigh Magazine regarding the ‘dying’ art of the RSVP. Has the RSVP become obsolete? The article delves into the question of whether the RSVP, a long-standing tradition in event planning, has become obsolete in today’s fast-paced digital age.

Raleigh Chamber 2014 Business Expo
I’m excited to have been invited to lead one of the four need-to-know Show Day Social Media Seminars planned for the Greater Raleigh Chamber of Commerce 2014 Business Expo coming up on Thursday, May 1, 2014 on behalf of my WRAL.com team!
The Expo itself takes place at the NC State Fairgrounds in the Jim Graham Building (free, ample parking!) from 9:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. The event is free for all to attend (but you can pre-register here), as well as the social media seminar sessions. Social media seminar sessions include: Where do I start?, ROI and Conversion, Engagement Strategy, and a panel on Success Stories. I’ll be leading the Engagement Strategy session that will cover topics such as:
Relearning how to talk with people (and not at them)
How conversation changes across platforms
How conversation is broadly evolving
Why people follow certain pages
What your audience expects
In addition to attending, I’m seeking your participation in one additional way – I’d love to know what questions you have that you’d like to have answered! Leave a comment here, email me, send me a tweet, or ask away on Facebook.
See you at #BizExpo14!
Cheers,
Lisa
