MORNING SEMINAR: “Social Simplified: The System That Sticks for Time-Starved Teams” with Barbara Savona
Social media doesn’t have to be another overwhelming “to-do.” In this session, we’ll break it down into a simple system you can actually follow, no endless scrolling, no overthinking. You’ll learn how to map out content categories that keep your feed balanced, set schedules that are realistic for busy onsite teams, and craft posts and replies that build real connections. Plus, we’ll explore how to use AI as your assistant (not your replacement) to save time without losing your community’s authentic voice. If you’ve ever thought, “I just don’t have time for social,” this one’s for you.
You’ll Walk Away With:

A Repeatable Social System – Categories, calendars, and quick wins that make consistency possible (even when your day is chaos).
The Engagement Edge – How to craft and respond in ways that turn followers into tours and tours into leases.
The AI Assist – Tools and tips to help you save hours each week while keeping your voice real and relatable.
