Google Is Not the Only Fruit: Advanced Searching for InfoPros

PRESENTER:  Arthur Weiss

Many of us are car drivers—and we all think we are great drivers. Yet if we were, how come there are so many car accidents? And how many of us could drive an ambulance to an emergency, or a police car in a chase?

Searching online is similar. We all think we are experts, but few are. Even fewer are actually taught how to be expert searchers. This workshop will show you the steps you need to take to become a really proficient online searcher—whether for finding competitive intelligence or information on people or just finding that item you’ve wanted for years but could never locate. If it’s findable, this workshop will show you how to find it.

Arthur Weiss is the managing director of AWARE, specialising in marketing, OSINT, and competitive intelligence research and training. Arthur offered the world's first workshop on using the Internet for competitive intelligence at the 1997 London International Online Information Conference. Along the way he’s come across useful websites, crazy sites, and sites that probably shouldn’t even exist (try http://www.jacksonpollock.org). Arthur has consulted for several leading companies in the information industry and has written articles and lectured on a variety of marketing and information industry  topics. Arthur is a Chartered Marketer with the UK's Chartered Institute of Marketing and a member of SLA, the Association of MBAs, and AIIP, where he has served as a board member. Arthur is married to an educator, Susy, and has two children who support his quest to stay one step ahead of Millennials who have imbibed online technologies since birth.

How to attract clients and build credibility through social media, without making it your full-time job

PRESENTER:  Marcy Phelps

LinkedIn and other social media sites offer small, independent business owners an opportunity to market to many, rather than one prospect at a time. For a lot of independent information professionals, though, the thought of social-media marketing is overwhelming, and they don't know where to start or what to talk about.

AIIP member Marcy Phelps will share tips and strategies to help you navigate the top social sites and develop a process for discovering your audience, expanding your network by being more social, and creating valuable content that you can share in multiple formats. You'll leave this workshop with your customized blueprint for getting noticed on social media without selling, chasing clients, or wasting your time with ineffective approaches.

As the founder and president of Marcy Phelps & Associates, Inc., Marcy helps clients identify and prevent fraud through background investigations, financial asset research, and training services. A licensed private investigator and Certified Fraud Examiner, Marcy frequently speaks and writes on topics related to investigative research, and her online courses can be found at Illumeo.com.
