Audience Response to Kate
Kate Trgovac did an exceptional job as leader of the pre-conference workshop at the Canadian Institute’s Social Media conference that was held in Toronto on December 4 - 5, 2007. Delegates who attended the workshop described Kate as “an extremely knowledgeable and dynamic speaker” and appreciated the “relevant and easy-to-understand content” that she presented. ~ Lina Badih
I had quite a few great moments of insight during the (Mesh 2007) conference, but one particular highlight was meeting Kate Trgovac from Vancouver and attending Kate’s workshop on building electronic communities. ~ Connie Crosby
kate spoke to our advertisers about social media; and although it's immediately obvious that she is a deserved expert in her field, her approachable manner is engaging for an audience whose technological knowledge ranges from newbie to tech-geek. everyone walked away with something. thank-you kate! To quote one attendee: "Kate's a great presenter. Her easy style and wit combined with her knowledge made for an informative and entertaining presentation. We would love to be part of any future events." we are all hoping that kate launches some workshops soon...! ~Sarah Loewen
