Join us on March 22nd with special guest speaker, Peggy Richardson speaking on demystifying social media. With words as her guide, Peggy has lived a double life in technology and publishing. Drawing on her technical background over twenty years, Peggy blogs about her specialty in writing and editing non-fiction at WizardofeBooks.com. She has been working on web content development projects for as long as the medium has existed.
Peggy thrives on information overload, and lives to translate even the most complex technical information into easy to understand terms that anyone can put into action. Peggy’s passion for communication has inspired her to explore cross-over media like video podcasting, live Internet radio, social media tools and interactive ebooks. http://www.wizardofebooks.com/speaking
