Robyn Cobb How do I choose between beginners and B2B?
> 1 month ago
Jeffrey L. Cohen We are focusing on business uses of social medai
> 1 month ago
Patrick O'Keefe If your focus is business to business, you'd probably lean B2B.
> 1 month ago
Wayne Sutton Also we are real excited about our keynote panel – the future of business on the social web with: Jason Falls, Laura Fitton (@Pistachio), Lucretia Pruitt, John Andrews
> 1 month ago
Patrick O'Keefe Of course, don't forget advanced, either. There are some qualified people *cough* on that one, too.
> 1 month ago
Robyn Cobb That's a great line up!
> 1 month ago
Jeffrey L. Cohen Beginners are for those just getting starting. We will address the basics of signing up for services and what they are used for.
> 1 month ago
Robyn Cobb Oh I see great!
> 1 month ago
Robyn Cobb Hey Patrick aren't you speaking?
> 1 month ago
Patrick O'Keefe The fact that it is a three track conference is really a nice plus because you aren't locked into any one room and can move around. Sounds funny, but it's good.
> 1 month ago
Patrick O'Keefe Taking nothing away from single track events.
> 1 month ago
Jeffrey L. Cohen The speakers will answer questions like what are some basic uses for Twitter in Business, by the woman who wrote the book on it.
> 1 month ago
Robyn Cobb It doesn't get any better than that!

Patrick O'Keefe Yes, there are at least a few published authors at the event, I think. ;)
> 1 month ago
Robyn Cobb What can the advanced track people expect?
> 1 month ago
Wayne Sutton Corvida had to make some last minute adjustments.
> 1 month ago
Patrick O'Keefe I am speaking, Robyn, thanks for asking. I'm on two advanced track panels, "Advertising and the Social Web: Can it Work?" with Gregory Ng and David Millsaps and "Building and Managing an Online Community" with Laurie Smithwick and Ryan Boyles.
> 1 month ago
Jeffrey L. Cohen Why don't we let Patri ck talk about one of the advance sessions.
> 1 month ago
Patrick O'Keefe Sure... (typing)
> 1 month ago
Patrick O'Keefe The "Building and Managing an Online Community" session is going to focus on four main pillars. Those being: roles (definition of roles and how they play in various community settings), structure (setting policies, enforcing policies, documenting violations)...
> 1 month ago
Robyn Cobb and of course you know my question next so you can prepare
> 1 month ago
Robyn Cobb what can the b2b track expect
> 1 month ago
Jeffrey L. Cohen Back to an earlier question, the B2B track is for people who have a basic understanding of social media communications, and their businesses sell to other businesses.
> 1 month ago
Patrick O'Keefe ... cultivation and activity (generating activity and keeping it) and monetization (making money directly or indirectly from online community). and then we'll have a very health Q&A as I love Q&A. :)
> 1 month ago
Patrick O'Keefe Right, Wayne?>
> 1 month ago
Patrick O'Keefe Haha.
> 1 month ago
Patrick O'Keefe Me and Wayne just had a panel at Blog World Expo that was really well received. So, we bring back that knowledge and experience back with us to SMBF.
> 1 month ago
Robyn Cobb Great so those of us who are still depressed
> 1 month ago
Robyn Cobb about not going to Blog world can get a feel
> 1 month ago
Wayne Sutton For the advance track people can expect more strategies they can use in the work environment
> 1 month ago
Robyn Cobb Hey is there anyone else following along who has a question?
> 1 month ago
Jeffrey L. Cohen There's a great session in the B2B track first thing in the morning featuring 3 dynamic bloggers: some guy named Jeff, DJ Waldow (of Blue Sky Factory) and Alison Bolen of SAS talking about business blogging best practices.

> 1 month ago
Robyn Cobb I want to attend all 3 tracks

Jeffrey L. Cohen Actually Robyn, 10 of the speakers at SMBF were speakers at BlogWorld, so you can get a flavor of social media thought leadership here in Durham.
> 1 month ago
Patrick O'Keefe Another nice looking B2B session is going to be "Who Should Own Social Media?" with Jason Falls, Ilina Ewen and Gavin Baker.
> 1 month ago

> 1 month ago
Robyn Cobb I am so glad I will be there
> 1 month ago
Robyn Cobb hey I heard something about a tweet up tomorrow night at the fair?
> 1 month ago
Patrick O'Keefe For me, Social Media Business Forum is really a tremendous opportunity for everyone, but especially for those in North Carolina and southern Virginia because they are getting access to speakers who speak on a national and international level, with the cost savings of an affordable conference (great value content wise, plus two meals) and they can drive to it. It's a great opportunity.
> 1 month ago
Jeffrey L. Cohen Yes, we have put a lot of thought into the speakers we have chosen.
