Jeremiah Owyang discusses how web tools and social media enable companies to connect with customers

Off to Alexandria Virginia today

July 22nd, 2007 | Category: Conference

I’ll be speaking on Tuesday on a panel about business blogging to a great audience at Frost and Sullivan’s conference in Alexandria Virginia. I’ve attending many of these conferences at Frost and Sullivan, and each time, the crowd gets wiser and savier to social media. I remember in 2006 the resistance I received from many folks, and now, they’re wanting to know more and more.

I’m excited to see Lee again, who will also be on my panel. It will be moderated by Grier Graham, Vice President Sales & Marketing, TechDirt, Inc. with:

Peter S. Mahoney, Vice President, Worldwide Marketing & Operations
Speech Division, Nuance Communications, Inc.

David Doucette, Director Internet Strategy, Fairmont Hotels & Resorts

Rick Short, Marcom Director, Indium Corporation

Lee Aase, Manager - Media Relations, Research Communications and New Media, Mayo Clinic

It’s going to be a long flight from SFO to Reagan airport, so I’ll be bringing along a few books to finish up reading, Everything is Misc and the Wisdom of Crowds.

    Hey, Jeremiah, I’m looking forward to seeing you again, too. On my flights I’m listening to Made to Stick. This is my first Frost & Sullivan conference, but I’ve heard great reviews of the organization. See you tonight at the speaker orientation meeting!
