For the second year in a row, I had the unique opportunity to attend The Global Leadership Summit, a world-class experience for leaders who want to get better. The premise is simple: everybody has influence to some degree: being parents, husbands, wives, managers in the workplace; and because so, we have the responsibility to lead well.
Each year the Summit takes place over a 2-day period. This year it was on August 14th and 15th (last Thursday and Friday). This year's speakers included: Tyler Perry, Carly Fiorna, Jeffrey Immelt, Erica Ariel Fox, Patrick Lencioni and far too many others to include here!
Anyway, being the social media and data nerd that I am, I put together this white paper/analysis on all the activity surrounding the Summit's designated "hashtag" = #GLS14. You may be surprised at some of the numbers - I was. But I'm not going to give you the highlights here in this post, you'll have to see them for yourselves! :D

6. While Twitter was the clear driver for Summit conversation, Instagram
beat out both Facebook and Google+. Pictures were shared much more
this year than they were at #GLS13. Not surprising, as more and more
people (and churches!) have worked Instagram into their social media
repertoire.

8. Geo Data It should not be surprising that Chicago owned a lot of the tweet
distribution, but take a look at the other cities! In terms of overseas, the
UK and South Africa led the pack in #GLS14 usage during the Summit.
