CPD Event - Our First Webinar

Screenshot from our Webinar
The Scottish Genealogy Network was formed to give a framework for genealogists across Scotland to meet together and learn from each other. We learn genealogy skills from one another and it is a good environment to discuss different business strategies and pick up tips on social media.

The aim is to exchange experience and develop as genealogists who can provide a better service to our clients.

Last month we took a brave step of hosting our first webinar. This event was for SGN members only, but hopefully the experience will enable individual SGN members to host these for the public at some point in the future.

This first webinar looked at the basics of social media, encouraging members to write blogs, tweet more and create business facebook pages. This CPD event was a prelude to a social media training day which will hopefully be held by the SGN early next year.

If you are working as a professional genealogist (or in a related field) we encourage you to join our group. Email our secretary (Emma Maxwell) who will be happy to provide details for you: secretary@scottishgenealogynetwork.co.uk
