Tools & Tips for Managing Social Media for Events

Tuvel was also featured in two articles this week – from Convene Magazine and the Omnipress Blog – which are part of our weekly recommended reading list today (but don’t just read them because we’re featured – they are truly interesting and insightful reads)!
