was a very good conference as it addressed how important a role social media, especially 

Facebook is playing in today’s market. For example, even the biggest companies in the world 

are moving away from websites and focusing on promoting themselves through Facebook.

youth to it as it is a very important platform through which to learn about the impact of social 

media in every aspect of today’s society.”
