SUMMARY:Northeast - Platform Reset: What's Actually Working on Social Media in 2026
DESCRIPTION:Platform Reset: What’s Actually Working on Social Media in 2026\nRestaurants and hotels are still treating Facebook\, Instagram\, and TikTok like the same platform — and it’s costing them.

This session breaks down what each platform is actually good for right now\, plus the practical tools (editing\, AI tools\, scheduling apps) to execute a smarter strategy. \nWednesday\, October 21\, 2026\n9:00 – 10:30 a.m.\nCulhane’s Irish Pub\n9720 Deer Lake Ct\nJacksonville\, FL 32246 \nCost: Free \nClick Here to RSVP\n \n
