The 2020 OnlyJustMedia Summit will take place on 29 February at Belfast’s Odyssey and will see 11 national and international speakers reveal the “secrets of success on social media”.
It will be hosted by Cool FM presenter and influencer Rebecca McKinney.
Lucy McMullan is the owner of OnlyJustMedia and organises the conference alongside event co-founder Alan Wallace. She said this was the “biggest summit they have staged” so far and promises to provide more than just an educational day.
“In 2018 we not only sold out the event in a few weeks, but created a huge buzz from local attendees and our international speakers,” she commented. “This year is not only 10 times bigger but will have more opportunities to learn, be inspired and have fun.
“Delegates will hear how to build a social media community, influencing and impacting your audience, the secrets of making more of Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn content, as well as storytelling, brand building, visual marketing and more.”
