The Social Web Workshop by Chris Messina and Jyri Engeström is sold out. Luckily, there’s still a unique opportunity to see these key minds at the conference. Check out the blog article "Web at a New Crossroads" at http://tinyurl.com/mexytl.

ENTERPRISE SOCIAL COLLABORATION – NOT SOLD OUT YET, BUT SOON TO BE...

In collaboration with FinNode USA (Finpro & Tekes) we are happy to present to you an in-depth look at how Enterprise Social Collaboration is changing the way enterprises do business as well as the opportunities for Finnish technology companies within this space.

We have lined up a top-notch speaker from the US, David Coleman, author of “Collaboration 2.0” and “42 Rules for Successful Collaboration”, as well as various Finnish thought leaders to share their views and insights in an interactive debate at this exciting event.
