UNE TamTalks: World Social Media Day

Join us for an evening of storytelling and shared experiences as UNE Tamworth celebrates World Social Media Day.

Hear how social media has transformed lives, businesses, and communities in regional communities like ours.

You’ll hear from UNE Alumni Meredith Abrams, the founder and director of Creating Focus Social Media and UNE Law Academic, Dr Julia Day, who will both share their findings and stories of connection, opportunity, and community-building through digital platforms.

What You’ll Experience:

• Hear how regional communities are overcoming rural isolation through digital connection
• Listen to local success stories of businesses finding their voice online
• Discover how educators and students are building communities of practice beyond classroom walls
• Experience the emotional impact of connection during challenging times like the covid-19 pandemic.
• Share in moments where social media created unexpected opportunities

Our speakers will weave together research along with personal experiences, memorable moments, and honest reflections on both the challenges and triumphs of navigating social media in regional settings. This event offers a unique opportunity to hear authentic stories that rarely make it into formal presentations, while connecting with others who understand the regional experience.

Light refreshments will be provided.
