Top Tweets From Social Media Influencers Summit 2013 #TrendingForward

Last Saturday, March 16, 2013, the first ever Social Media Influencers Summit was held at J Center Convention Hall Cebu and gathered influencers from various sectors --- from students, to bloggers to high profile people from the media, business and government sector. The convention was literally packed with very useful information on utilizing the power of social media. 

Information overload but in a good way. I bought two tickets for the event and I regret nothing.

Below are some of the "best" tweets (imo) that document valuable lessons from most of the speakers during the summit. It does not cover all the topics that were discussed, but I believe captured the essentials. It wasn't easy putting all of these together so I would like to apologize if I miss a lot of things.

Enjoy.
