What is Next Level Hawaii?

Next Level Hawaii brings together America’s social media gurus, Chris Pirillo, Geoff Livingston, Aaron Brazell, Micah Baldwin, Jesse Stay and Roxanne Darling, for three days that promise to change the way participants think about the Internet, their marketing strategy and doing business in Hawaii.
Participants in Next Level Hawaii will learn not only how to launch a successful social media strategy, but how to deliver a return-on-investment to their organizations. Registration cost is $199 for the two-day event. A special opening night cocktail event at "Ka" in Ward Warehouse is $25.00
Next Level Hawaii will encapsulate everything participants need to know to create or fine-tune a social media program by matching some of the best minds in social media today with Hawaii’s business community. Speakers will focus on relevant, practical information about how to use social media in varying industries, including business, government, education, military and non-profit.
“Social media bridges the gap between islands of enthusiasm,” said Pirillo. “These tools enable us to share our experiences with people we may never meet in real life – but we'll likely grow to know these same people better than we know our next door neighbor.” Next Level Hawaii is produced by Kelly Mitchell, real estate consultant with Prudential Locations and her company, The Kelly Mitchell Group. Mitchell was COO of a Hawaii tech company for 8 years and is the former President of Social Media Club Hawaii.
