Online Community Unconference is the Cure for a Web 2.0 Hype Hangover
Forum One Networks'
annual west coast Online Community Unconference provides a forum for
online community and social media practitioners to share, learn and
collaborate.
San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) -- Forum One Networks, a strategy and research group
specializing in online communities, issued an invitation today to
online community practitioners, managers, developers, business people,
tool providers and investors to discuss experiences and strategies in
the development and growth of online communities and social media. The
Online Communities Unconference is taking place in Mountain View,
California on Wednesday, June 18, 2008.
Bill Johnston, Chief Community Officer for Forum One Networks,
describes the Online Community Unconference, "We have knowledgeable
online community and social media thought leaders coming to this event,
including representatives from Autodesk, BabyCenter, CafePress, Cisco,
eBay Research Labs, EdgiLabs, Forrester Research, Google, Jive
Software, Link TV, NetApp, Omidyar Network, and Social Edge. Our
unconferences give online community and social media professionals a
collaborative environment where they openly discuss topics and issues
based on their real world experience, as opposed to attending a speaker
driven conference where attendees sit through boring, hype-laden
presentations."
The Online Community Unconference is a dynamic event with break-out
session topics suggested by unconference attendees the morning of the
conference. "Open space events are really starting to disrupt
'traditional' conferences," says Johnston. "The best information comes
from talking to people who are speaking from experience, and can share
challenges and successes. Unconferences give the participants an open
platform to share and learn."
While the topics will be generated by the participants on the day of
the conference, some key discussions will likely include; community
growth strategies, community metrics and ROI, community business models
and monetization, emerging technologies and many more interesting
topics around online community and social media.
