• Twittervention: Social Media & Legal Issues for Employers, Educators & Parents
  Social media is a fact of life for millions of people, so the real question is not whether we connect, but where and in what ways we should connect to benefit from online networking’s pluses and avoid its minuses. The proliferation of social media is changing us, raising questions for lawmakers/policy makers/educators and parents alike. With 500 million active users (the size of a small country) and growing fast, many of the legal issues with social networking such as Facebook are still relatively unsettled. Our panel will discuss how far employers and educators can and should go to guide employees’ and students social networking activities to prevent or reduce problems.

• Cyber Advocacy: Social Media and Political Change
  Political advocacy groups are no longer sitting on the sidelines when it comes to social media. In today’s social media age, any issue advocacy or public affairs campaign that relies solely on traditional media and paid advertising simply will not succeed. Advocacy groups understand this new reality and are actively using platforms like Twitter and Facebook to educate, connect and mobilize their members and stakeholders and to focus the lens through which legislators, policy makers and regulators view their key issues. Join members of the media, authors and political change experts for a discussion on how social media and cyber dissent are bringing about political change both here and abroad.

• Social Progress: Business Innovation through Social Media
  For the “Facebook” generation of worker, information is designed to be broadcast, shared, and commented upon. When faced with a problem, question, or issue, a member of this generation will naturally “reach beyond the firewall” and broadcast their questions to their friends, colleagues, and anyone who might be able to help. Join a panel of experts who will discuss how companies who successfully engage their employees, utilize social media to facilitate alignment, and are able to leverage social communication to contribute to proper execution may then use social media to encourage employee-driven innovation.

• Social-ucation: Training and Educating Through Social Media

Join a panel of experts who are passionate about using social networking tools and learn how to use these platforms to engage and educate both your workforces and students.
