What are the real and concrete business benefits to be gained from implementing Social Tools such as blogs, podcasts, wikis, online video and other collaborative technologies? It is widely accepted that Web 2.0 - which has user-generated content and communications at its core - is changing the way we are living and the way we do business. It is also accepted that social tools make inter- and intra-organisational communications easier and more effective, and can add value to the customer experience.
Date & Venue
01 October 2008 - 02 October 2008   Novotel Hammersmith
 
 

Background and Objectives:

What are the real and concrete business benefits to be gained from implementing Social Tools such as blogs, podcasts, wikis, online video and other collaborative technologies?  How can they be put into practice?

This highly interactive and lively conference brings together experts working in the environment of Web 2.0 or Enterprise 2.0, the new breed of managers and entrepreneurs – “Managers 2.0” -  who have seen the power of collaboration and engagement, who have found new ways of saving time and money, and who share their experience with their audience in a way that is instructive, useful, and even fun.

This is our fifth Web 2.0 conference.   We are delighted to have Gurteen Knowledge supporting the conference again and to welcome back speakers who received exceptional reviews at past events, as well as some new to us, who have interesting stories to tell.

Benefits of attending:

Attendees will gain an excellent overview of how social tools can be used in business today to foster collaboration, create greater cohesion, support innovation and win customers.  Find out about the real concrete benefits, the downsides, the security issues involved, and the implications for your organisation, and receive practical hints and tips on implementation.
