Open the Door to Web 2.0
Karen Bennett, Director of Engineering, Yahoo! Canada
Hessie Jones, Marketing Manager, Yahoo! Canada
Web 2.0 was introduced in 2004 – yet its power, three years later, is still redefining how we do business. Its introduction of User Generated content, a concept embraced so dramatically by the marketplace, led Time magazine to name “You” the 2006 Person of the Year.
So where do we stand in October 2007? What is Web 2.0? What has worked and what hasn’t? Yahoo!, a long standing leader on the Web continues to take the pulse of the world’s online public empowering consumers to know, understand and influence the world around them.
Yahoo! Canada speakers Karen Bennett, Director of Engineering and Hessie Jones,
Marketing Manager will discuss Web 2.0 basics and its impact on consumers and will address:
- How Web 2.0 has changed the way consumers respond and interact with media?
- How do businesses keep up as users continuously find better ways to communicate and share their views?
Staying Ahead of the Tech Curve by Leveraging Your Network
Leslie Hetherington, MBA, APR, Senior Director, Communications & Graphics, Pet Valu
In today's workforce, staying marketable and engaged often means jumping between organizations, sectors and even skill sets with a promise to hit the ground running. As technology is often the pervasive link between each move, staying ahead of IT is pivotal to success.
During a 20 year career, Leslie Hetherington has repeatedly re-invented herself. From re-purposing her PR skills to make Coopers & Lybrand's user documentation compelling and training its internal stakeholders, to implementing a range of marketing initiatives to put Bell Canada's evolving enterprise solutions, from VoIP to RFID, on customers’ agendas.
Leslie will share her insights in how to effectively build and nurture a network of people and resources, along with best practices that help you identify the trends but filter out what you really “need”
She will also lead participants through an interactive speed networking game to expand their own toolkit for staying ahead.
Presentation is open to all.
