This photo-heavy post is out of the ordinary, but it’s a bit out of the ordinary when Facebook comes to your town!
[Downloadable PDF of my notes regarding Growing Your Small Business on Facebook included.]

Katie McGee of Facebook presented our session this morning, then patiently and very knowledgeably answered our questions this morning.

Congressman Pete Olson addressed us, as small business owners, calling us the “job-creators of America” and discussed the importance of having a Federal Government who supports us.

Kati took us on a whirlwind tour of how business and people connect on Facebook using tools like Graph Search, Nearby, News Feed and Facebook Ads.

I said I was wearing my “Facebook blue” today. Chris Herndon said I just needed flip flops and hoodie and I’d fit right in!

Lindsey Lucas of Lean on Me Events joined me. Visit her Page at Lean On Me Events and watch for some updates coming soon!

I was happy to run into Paul Sherland of IX Brand SEO!

You’ll have to excuse the selfie of Justin Szatny of First Colony Church of Christ and me. You do what you’ve gotta do!

Rob Dobson of Red Pup Media asks Kati McGee questions in a small group after the session.
I didn’t get photos, but I wanted to shout out to Shelly Roth of Springboard Works (Thanks for the seat!), Carole Billingsley of Seek Social Media and James Kallman of SMO Edge. Nice to finally meet you all in person!

“Table for four, please.”
