1-14-2010 9-38-13 AM The Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Boston in June year is one of the most important industry events that NewsGator attends. This year we've submitted a record 5 speaking proposals.  Our desire is to communicate, along side our clients, a wide range of topics surrounding social computing and enterprise collaboration.  We hope you'll consider voting for some of the below proposed sessions if you find them of interest to you. (You can click on the links at the end of the descriptions to vote.)

  • Mission Collaboration - Enterprise Social Computing At Raytheon: Through a case study of Raytheon we’ll address how a social computing solution can be both open and secure and help remove bottle necks in information (knowledge, expertise, artifacts) discovery and sharing within an organization, while being fully customizable and still providing necessary ROI. http://bit.ly/6lCBUK
  • Lessons Learned at the Front Edge of Enterprise Social Computing: Through Accenture and Citi case studies we’ll address: change management – i.e., roles of IT, HR, corporate communications, etc.; the most important parameters to consider in choosing an enterprise 2.0 platform; what works and doesn’t with social computing and enterprise 2.0; differences between internal branded social networks versus external consumer networks. http://bit.ly/6Zri4e
  • "So You Think You Can Social": Join a fun and interactive session based loosely on the popular television show “So You Think You Can Dance”.  Social computing thought leaders from three enterprises will share their best social computing ‘moves’ and the crowd will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite best practices and tips. http://bit.ly/7Hf7tr
  • SharePoint 2010: Is It An All-Or-Nothing E2.0 Decision: SharePoint 2010 is an across-the-board improvement in Enterprise 2.0 tools. However, organizations may have already invested in other tools and platforms for blogs,wikis , communities, and social networking. What are the options moving forward? This panel will explore social tools that extend, or provide an alternative platform to,SharePoint 2010. http://bit.ly/5lwomC
