#BHSocialMediaThe 2nd Social Media Roundtable in Bahrain

22nd June 2011

The Bahrain Social Media Round Table Gathering was held on the 15th of June 2011, and saw an

attendance of over 55 avid marketers, social media enthusiasts and entrepreneurs.

The aim is to establish a forum for people who will, in the future, set the bars and trends in the

Bahraini Social Media Industry.

A survey was conducted to help shed light on the role that Social Media Networking sites play in

the personal and business lives of the Bahraini population, and the impact it has on both

aspects of life.
