Jan 15, 2010: Startups and Social Media: Lessons Learned at Samovar Conference Hall

FullCalendar — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 20:09:58 -0700

In this session we'll focus on key questions startups face these days:
Should we engage in Social Media? How?
What channels to use?
How we can effectively do it without time and having limited resources?

About the speaker:

Jan 12, 2010: Enterprise 2.0, Social CRM - how about Social Business? How to become one? at Samovar Conference Hall

FullCalendar — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 19:52:35 -0700

Social Media has been around for some time, and lots of businesses are using it both for internal and external collaboration with employees, customers, and partners. They are realizing, little by little, that without a strategy the usefulness of the channels and tools is limited, and the calculated ROI are slowly disappearing as the cracks begin to show around the foundation of the business intent. The use of Enterprise 2.0 for internal social strategies and Social CRM for external social work has shown promise - but stops short of being a complete business solution. The idea of integrating Enterprise 2.0, Social CRM, and Social Media into a coherent Social Business strategy is slowly taking hold in corporations around the world - but can it deliver?

Topics

* The road to becoming a social business

* The strategic reasons to do embark in a social business initiative

* What does a social business look like?

* Who should undertake the job of building a social business?

* Is there an ROI for Social Business initiatives?

* Are there good case studies?

* How can I get started on the road to becoming social business?

Panel:

Esteban Kolsky, Principal & Founder, ThinkJar - moderator
Volker Hildebrand, VP CRM Product Management, SAP
Mitch Lieberman, VP Strategy, SugarCRM
Kira Wampler, Online Engagement Leader, Small Business Group, Intuit

Gourment dinner and wine will be served!

Feb 3, 2010: CHIFOO Meeting: Mobile Agency Life: Leadership in a Quickly Shifting Landscape at University of Oregon White Stag Blocks

fellene — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 21:36:04 -0700

The release of the iPhone 3G and, with it, Apple’s launch of the App Store marked 2008 as the year that mobile computing changed forever. We are witnessing the birth of a new class of technology: pocket-sized devices with always-on broadband that understand who you are and where you are. With a technological and cultural revolution unfolding before our eyes, how do interaction designers and agencies deal with such a quickly shifting landscape? What does leadership mean when there is a perceived lack of solid research, UI best practices, and industry mentors at your fingertips? James will bring some clarity to this area, reflecting on her experiences designing successful interactions for a variety of devices.
