Social Networking Conference: Day 1

I was pleasantly surprised at the turn out from today’s social networking conference in Beverly Hills 90210. I met some really cool people from a very diverse group of companies. Here is a quick recap of the speakers and you can also check out the pictures below as well:

Session 1: Travis Falstad of Electronic Arts talked about social networking in the gaming environment.This was of keen interest to me since I am a serious gamer and Madden (on the Playstation) expert! “EA Sports, It’s in the Game!

Session 2: I talked about building brand loyalty on the social web.

Session 3: Adam Pisoni, VP of Engineering at Yammer talked about enterprise communications and social media.

Session 4: John Ploumitsakos from Google talked about the changing landscape and trends on the social web.

Session 5: Jeff Bruce, VP of Marketing for Dow Jones talked about the B2B strategies using technology and he touched a little on CRM.

Session 6: Sumaya Kazi shared what Sun Microsystems is doing in the social space; and believe me, they are doing a lot!

Session 7: Clara Shih gave an exciting presentation on the emerging technologies and strategies using Facebook and Twitter. I recorded a brief segment of her presentation below.

Here are some photos of the event.
