GRINNELL — The Grinnell Area Chamber of Commerce welcomes Chris Snider as the featured speaker for its next Bite Sized Learning session.
Snider is an associate professor at Drake University and co-founder of the company, Innovation Profs. The event will take place Thursday, Sept. 11 from 8:30-9:30 a.m. at the Katherine Howell Weingart ’61 Civic Innovation Pavilion in Renfrow Hall, 1021 Broad Street.
Tickets are offered on a pay-what-you-can basis starting at $10 and will include a light breakfast and beverage. The event is open to anyone, regardless of Chamber membership status.
Snider will discuss the growing influence of generative AI in social media and show the wide-ranging ways in which it is used on various platforms — from summarizing comments to creating ads.
Snider will also share social media tips and advice on what new platforms businesses should be aware of. Attendees will discover how major social media companies are approaching AI and how apps and influencers are pushing the boundaries of AI in social media.
Snider will explain how individuals are using their social networks to leverage their businesses and how using AI can help in storytelling and awareness for entrepreneurs, small business owners and community organizations.
Snider teaches social media and digital media courses for Drake University’s undergraduate and graduate programs. Before joining Drake University, Snider was a journalist in Baltimore, St. Louis and Des Moines.
Snider moved to Des Moines in 2005 to launch Juice magazine. He often hosts workshops and gives presentations focused on topics ranging from social media strategy to generative AI.
