• Web 2.0 and Beyond: Applying Social and Collaborative Tools to Business Problems
  5-6 March 2008, London
  www.unicom.co.uk/socialtools
  
  One of the key challenges for corporations is how they integrate these new technologies within the enterprise and figure out which best suit their needs, and will make inter- and intra-organisational communications easier and more effective, and what safeguards need to be put in place along the way. This conference presents new viewpoints and case studies explaining the value, application and (sometimes) the downside of social tools in a business context. It looks beyond the “why” of Enterprise 2.0 to explain the “how”, giving all participants a true learning experience. The conference is chaired by David Gurteen, founder of the Gurteen Knowledge Community and himselfboth a user and an advocate of these technologies.
  
  Aslib Corporate Members receive a 20% discount on the conference fee.
