SMBP2 Theme: Social Media in 2009 | Look Both Ways

SMBP2 will feature a series of two sets of discussions:

1) Backwards: Examining how social media technologies, practices, and proliferation changed over the course of 2008. Did your business or clients change their views? Did social media go mainstream? Did social media find a place next to or immersed in traditional marketing, advertising, and public relations?

2) Forwards: Projecting, on the heels of the Consumer Electronics Show and a slew of predictive positing by thought leaders, what 2009 has in store for social media. Will the mainstream populace finally 'get it?' Will businesses and clients be more willing to embrace social media? What tools must or should we develop to steward the next generation of social media evolution?

Speakers

If you would be willing to moderate and/or lead one of these discussions (in either or both categories), please e-mail Ben Grossman at SMBP {at} ben-grossman {dot} com
