(MILWAUKEE, WI) 2009 is history. It’s time to launch into 2010.

On Monday, January 11^th, LinkedIn-Milwaukee will bring in 2010 with new insight on how businesses can reap the benefits of social media, presented by the business people that use this valuable tool.

The January LinkedIn-Milwaukee event will feature a panel discussion made up of local business people that are using social media to promote their products and services. These professionals will provide real-time examples and be able to explain how they use social media in a very practical way.

“We wanted to give attendees a chance to hear everyday people that are using social media to build their businesses,” said Katie Felten, president MKE Live. “It’s likely to be a very uplifting event for those that want to make the jump to social media but may feel a little intimidated by this form of marketing.”

The January LinkedIn-Milwaukee event will also provide attendees with the opportunity to update their professional “head and shoulders” photos. Members of the 2010 MKELive Ambassador team will also attend the event to answer questions about upcoming events, social networking, and other networking opportunities in 2010.

The January MKELive LinkedIn-Milwaukee event will be held on Monday, January 11^th from 5:30-8:30 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Wauwatosa (located at 10499 Innovation Drive, Wauwatosa, WI 53226). Networkers are encouraged to pre-register at www.mkelive.com/calendar
