A 15 percent discount for Salford Systems’ Analytics and Data Mining Conference will be awarded for those who “like” or follow @salfordsystems. Salford Systems is awarding this social media discount off of the early-bird registration for social media savvy data mining enthusiasts on Thursday, Feb. 16, 2012 only.

So, how does it work? Two ways: Facebook “likes” must send an email to info@salforddatamining.com with the following phrase: “I ‘liked’ Salford Systems on Facebook and would like to request my 15% discount on the Salford Analytics and Data Mining Conference.” A Salford Systems representative will respond with the appropriate invoice. Secondly, Tweeps who follow @salfordsystems must send a @reply “I’m excited for #ADMC2012 and would like to request my 15% discount today!” A Salford Systems representative will acquire appropriate information via a Direct Message, and an invoice will be sent via email.
