We’re putting the “social” in Social Marketers with the new Modere Meetup program!

Modere Meetups are local events hosted by Social Marketers, for Social Marketers. Guests are welcome to attend. As the latest program from Modere, Meetups are a new way of putting your business back into your hands and helping you find corporate support wherever you live. This is a prime way to connect with other local Modere enthusiasts, learn business-building strategies and spend time with like-minded entrepreneurs. The options are endless: Modere Meetups can be small gatherings in your home or huge regional events at a stadium. Your meetings can focus on anything from product trainings to motivational speaking to business tips and tricks.

With customization options and attendance incentives, your Modere Meetups have all the official corporate support with a regional twist. This way, you can meet other Social Marketers in your area to meet your specific needs and have local support.

Whether you’re finding a meeting near you or hosting your own, here’s everything you need to know about Modere Meetups.
