Who is it for?

The Kishor Social Media Conference for Religious Women is open to all women who are interested in hearing a Torah view on usage of the internet and social media. This includes professionals who use the internet for business purposes, and parents and educators who want to know how their children and students are using the internet and social media programs.

The morning sessions will cover general topics on the various social media platforms which exist, and their place in Torah society, with halachic and hashkafic guidelines for their use.

The afternoon workshops will be offered on three tracks:

The Professional Track is designed for individuals who are already familiar with and use social media for their business, in particular LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and blogs. This track is designed for the professional who wants to learn advanced skills and integrated uses for social media.

The Introductory Track is designed for individuals who have minimal or no familiarity with social media tools such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook and blogs. This track is designed for the individual who wants to have a basic understanding of social media tools and how to act on the social web.

The Educators Track is designed for parents and educators working with youth populations. This track is designed for parents, teachers and administrators who are concerned about the effects of social media and want to understand how young people are using these platforms; and for educational institutions exploring how to reach young people by integrating social media for organizational use.

All sessions will be given in English and recordings will be available for purchase after the Conference.
