Upcoming Dow Jones InfoPro Webinar featuring Jeremiah Owyang

So you think you know all there is to know about Social Media just because you looked it up on Wikipedia, eh? Think again my friends...

Join us on 31 January, 2008 for an hour long free webinar! The keynote speaker will be Jeremiah Owyang. He is a social media guru and if his name sounds extremely familiar it is because he co-authored a whitepaper, Tracking the influence of Conversations: A Roundtable Discussion on Social Media Metrics and Measurement."

He was formerly with Podtech and recently took a position with Forrester. He is considered to be a leading expert and thought leader in the social media space and we are thrilled to have him join us.

Some of the topics to be discussed will include :
  • What is social media - definitions and examples
  • How listening is a clear first step in the communication process to seize opportunities and mitigate threats
  • How to find communities, identify their tools and drivers and know what their conversations are about

Join us on 31 January, 2008 from 12:30 to 1:30 EST (United States) for the free hour long free webinar, Latest Trend in Social Media: How to Listen Effectively and Engage in the Conversation! In these turbulent economic times when businesses need every edge they can possibly get to stay ahead of their competition, you can't afford to pass up an opportunity like this.

Have a great weekend and we'll catch you next week!

We of the InfoPro Alliance team at Dow Jones thought we would provide you with a destination where you can find updated news about goings on in the InfoPro world (as viewed through our all-seeing corporate eyes) as well as interesting articles, editorials and content from our award-winning staff. Sound too good to be true? How much would you be willing to pay for such a blog? Well, for three easy payments of... well... would you believe it costs you nothing? Well, you'd best start believing.

From information about our webinars and events to a preview of our plans for the annual SLA conference in Seattle we will keep you enlightened on a fairly regular basis. With contributors from around the globe there is sure to be something for everyone.

We will be posting our first full editorial next week. See you then!
