About/Speaking Engagements
I invite you to hear me speak about strategic and tactical issues of Web 2.0 and social network-related disruption, and how to harness these market forces to make your company and your career more vibrant. I regularly speak at conferences, professional associations and other executive and professional venues. I also give public and private seminars for more in-depth learning. Below is a list of imminent and past public speaking engagements and some of the events that I have chaired. I also enthusiastically present to private groups because I enjoy tailoring remarks to address specific interests and thorny problems. Public venues usually have links to speaking materials.
- Here is a summary sheet of my speaking qualifications, with references
- Here are speaker bios and photos
- Also, find media information, short articles, editorials, news mentions and news releases.
- For more detailed papers and reports, see Resources.
