Event Details

 

The Enterprise Social Networking Forum brings together business and technology executives who are interested in learning how their company can benefit from the social networking of their workforce, partners and customers. IDC predicts that by 2012, social networking will be a $1.3 billion market with growth attributed to the value social networking provides to individual users as well as organizations and businesses throughout Corporate America.

Through case studies and end user presentations, attendees will learn how major companies are benefiting from social networking with examples of return on investment (ROI), the latest tools and techniques as well as the challenges they face in their organizations.

The forum will focus on both the overall business and technical issues associated with social networking with topics such as:
