Social Media in the Enterprise

• Network of Women in Computer Technology

Where would we be without the Internet? Do you twit or tweet? Are you on LinkedIn or Face Book? Can you even imagine a time when a person could do their job without accessing the Internet at least once during the day? Just a short 10 years ago, the Internet started this exciting boom that now controls how we do business. It seems our daily activities are almost driven by evolving social media concepts and practices.

Can you or your company ignore these trends? Can you or your company stay away and wait to see if it sticks? Is it considered bleeding edge, leading edge, or just the tip of the iceberg? Should you dive in? Is there great value to gain? Are there privacy concerns? Should companies restrict or endorse social media’s use while AT work or FOR work?

Lots of opportunity, lots of questions.

Come join us for an evening with area professionals, highlighted by an informative presentation and Q&A session by one of social media’s visionary leaders, Jim Worth. Topics to be covered include:

* What is social media?
* What are the tools? Who are the companies?
* How did we get here? Where is it going?
* Isn’t this just for kids? Why should I care, I’m a professional?
* How are enterprises exploiting these new trends?
* What should I be doing about it?
