I had the opportunity to present at the Social Media World Forum earlier this week. I talked about Actionable Listening on the Social Web and highlighted a few case studies; one from Starbucks and the other from Intel. Christine Tran did an excellent job capturing notes from most of the conference including my twenty minutes. I was definitely not on my game when I presented. The audience was a little quiet and didn’t laugh when I tried to crack a joke. Whatever.
I also had the opportunity to chair the next day and also serve as the moderator for several panels, mostly about mobile and social gaming; two topics I am not too familiar with. It was a long day, but it was definitely fun.
For me, the true value of attending conferences is meeting people, as well as seeing old friends. As usual, it was great to catch up [...]
I had a chance to catch up with Marla Erwin from Wholefoods, Michael Stelzner from Social Media Examiner, Tim Supples from Citrix, Jennifer Zeszut from Scout Labs and my boyee Sonny Gill to get some key insights from the conference. (photos here if interested)
