Businesses to go round in Circles during Hangout

The concepts of Circles and Hangouts will be explored during a workshop looking at the social network Google+.

Google – More Than a Search Engine is the second in a series of three informal courses led by social media entrepreneur Marcus Lilley, whose Marlborough-based firm, FutrSocial, helps people across the UK get to grips with an ever-changing array of communications technology.

Attendees will be creating a hangout of the session, to demonstrate how the tool can be used to create a virtual networking event.

Marcus said: “Marlborough Social Media Sessions will be a collaborative experience; a chance for people to come together, learn about new technology, and share ideas.”

The session will be held at The Food Gallery, High Street, Marlborough from 6pm to 7pm on Tuesday, June 25.

The sessions are free, although attendees will be encouraged to purchase a hot or cold drink or cake from the host venue. Attendees will need to bring a laptop, tablet or smartphone to participate in the practical sessions.

The last session in the series – Your Mobile: A Studio in Your Hands – will be held on Tuesday, July 30.
