The Open Imperative
What began as a digital movement championing the values of participation, collaboration, transparency and authenticity has emerged as a macrotrend. Widening our view of openness to spheres ranging from politics to environmentalism will prepare us for the next phase of the web—the open web, with its interoperable ecosystem and new consumer experiences.
 
  9:15-10:15   Keynote: Joseph Jaffe—Author, Join the Conversation

Are You Still Just Communicating?
All movements have a guru and Jaffe is leading the charge of conversational marketing by urging marketers to cease the monologue and join the dialogue. Case studies, cautionary tales and a thorough how-to approach help marketers make the most of the social web.
 
  10:15-10:25   Speed Sharing
Through questions and conversation starters, we will discuss the hot topics of the day in small groups.

Adam Brown—Director, Digital Communications, The Coca-Cola Company
Jan Valentic—SVP of Marketing, The Scotts Miracle-Gro Company
Stan Joosten—Innovation Manager, Holistic Consumer Communication, Procter & Gamble

And Community Makes Three
Megabrands like The Coca-Cola Company, P&G and Scotts have been talking with individual consumers for ages, but with the power of consumer communities, even the seasoned pros have to reinvent everything from organizational structures to entirely new consumer-facing roles.

  Noon-1:30   Lunch
Speaker: Marsha Collier—Author, over 15 books on eBay

My Life as an iCitizen
One of the world's most recognized eBay authorities shares her success story—how she used the tools of the social web to redefine her career and how eBay embraced her efforts.
 
  1:30-2:30   Keynote: Duncan Watts—Principal Research Scientist, Yahoo! Research

Influential or Insignificant?
Duncan rivets us with his empirical approach and application of network theory to sociology. So when he encourages brands to extend the conversation beyond the elite few and interact with networks on a vaster, exponential level, we can't help but listen.
 
  2:30-3:00   iTalk: Steve Knox—CEO, Tremor

Lynchpins of Communication
Steve and the crack team at Tremor believe in the power of the influential and have built brands connecting with these elusive individuals using the tools of the social web. Just how much influence do they really offer anyway?
