We’re kicking off the fifth season of Third Tuesday Toronto (#TTT) with something special: a day long conference on social media measurement.

Measurement matters. It’s how we know whether our efforts are having any impact. It’s how we know whether we’re making progress toward a goal or whether we’re stalled.

We measure what’s important to us. We measure to understand what is going on. We measure to provide insight into what works and what doesn’t.

Measurement really matters in emerging and fast changing fields. And social media is a field that is evolving rapidly. Evolving in participation, as it transforms from something for early adopters to a part of mainstream life. Evolving as new tools and platforms proliferate. Evolving as people adopt it and find new uses for it.

Anyone who uses social media for their work or is serious about it must understand what we can and should measure and how we can do it.

That’s where Third Tuesday Measurement Matters comes in.

A word about cost

The registration fee of $125 per person is more than we charge for most Third Tuesday events. However, we have a full day's rental on the hall, audio visual system, lights plus a lunch and two breaks to provide food and beverage.

Our aim is to break even on the cost of staging the actual conference. And we'll do that with a combination of sponsorships and registrations. (Yes, there'll be a special $0 registration for a group of lucky students. More info on this soon.)

We couldn't do it without the support of our sponsors

Our sponsors' contributions make it possible for us to focus on organizing and programming without having to worry whether we'll be on the hook for hard costs.

For the past year, we've been lucky to have some outstanding sponsors who have helped us to make this happen: CNW Group (https://newswire.ca), Rogers Communications (https://www.rogers.com), Molson Canada (https://www.molsoncoorscanada.com/), Radian6 (https://www.radian6.com/) and Fairmont Hotels (https://www.fairmont.com/) and Resorts.

Thank you to our sponsors. Third Tuesday wouldn't happen without you.
