A Collective Update

The Collective is less than three weeks away and we’re hard at work planning for it. As we finalize the agenda, we’d like to inform you of a few speaking sessions and activities happening at the event.

John Mancini, President of AIIM, will kick off the event speaking about the responsible implementation of social technology. His session will look at security, governance, findability and compliance through a social lens. Other sessions, led by NewsGator employees will cover important topics in the enterprise social computing space. Mike McGurkin, NewsGator’s Vice President of Services and Support will talk specifically about upgrading to SharePoint 2010, including the why, the how, and the best practices from a practical perspective. And, NewsGator’s Vice President of Products, Brian Kellner will be taking an in-depth look at Social Sites Mobile, focusing on strategy and direction. These are just a few examples of some of the great material we will be covering at our first-annual user group meeting.

We’ve been planning this event with you - our attendee - in mind. So, not only do we hope to share a wealth of knowledge with you, but we also want to provide you with an opportunity to collaborate with your peers. For example, we’ll be offering a facilitated speed networking session where you’ll be allowed to make lasting connections with other NewsGator users from around the world.

And lastly, we’ve included numerous customer speakers throughout the agenda. You’ll hear several client case studies presented by Fortune 500 companies working in financial services, health care, professional services, and the military.
