Mitch Carson and Ernesto Verdugo
Entrepreneurial Secrets The Social Media Masters Forum is where world experts share their secrets on making social media work for you. Forum creators Mitch Carson and Ernesto Verdugo are both seasoned seminar promoters and speakers with combined experience of 45 years on stages around the world. Together they partnered, brainstormed and created the International Experts Forum to showcase incredible talent to the world. Mitch explains: “The International Experts Forum was created because we discovered there were multiple speakers and content providers with great ideas who had no reliable means to get their messages heard. This is a common problem speakers face around the world. “This forum was created to address the needs of speakers and to provide the community in Bahrain this experience.” He continues that noticing what separates world-class speakers and thought leaders from those who treat speaking as a hobby was easily www.bahrainthismonth.com
identified, and the forum is aimed at those interested in speaking full time. Speakers are provided a platform and they are guaranteed stages with quality audiences. They are provided inclusion in print media, radio interviews, television interviews and creation of a sizzle reel, professional branding photography and comprehensive training to perform well in front of the media. All these elements make for a comprehensive media kit that will forever brand them as professionals. Explaining how speakers attract an audience. Mitch says: “We give the attendees what they need and provide speakers to match. This is a win-win scenario. We provide great content inside short sessions of five minutes that are chock full of useful ideas and solutions. No more long and boring sessions which cause you to look at your Smart phones during a presentation. Consider this forum the cliffnotes version of full 90-minute speeches. Audience members get the meat of a presentation and no fluff is included.”
Many of the speakers are experts in social media communications and marketing but, though social media has become a great way to create an audience for thought leaders, the absence of human interaction has continued to create the evergreen category of live events. Since the beginning of time, orators and thought leaders have been well received by audiences and this still holds true today. Mitch concludes: “We are pack animals who thrive on human interaction. Video and YouTube have helped in creating more of a bond with viewers, but nothing replaces live events…and never will, we believe.” The first Social Media Masters Forum in Bahrain will include numerous presentations such as: Make Your Ideas Investment Worthy; Essential Steps to Overcome Burnout; Know Where You Are and Discover Where you Want to Go; How to Build a Solid Online Business That Pays You While You Sleep; How to Turn Your Pictures Into Profit With Instagram and many more.
