IBM Social Media Marketing Summit 2009, June 17th

Following IBM’s  successful Social Media Marketing Summit held in 2008, where 600 IBM colleagues gathered to discuss social media marketing, this year’s conference will focus on sharing successful social media marketing implementation, integration and measurement insights that drive business value.
In a socially networked world, what is the new role corporations play, often via individual employees, with clients, potential customers, partners, and society? How can social media help make our planet smarter, our business more meaningful, and our colleagues more connected?  How can social media help us extract the most value from our marketing investments and accelerate business transformation? We invite you to join the global community of IBMers, clients, Business Partners and marketing peers from other firms who will attend the Summit, to discuss your ideas and thoughts about best practices.
