Implementing Social Networking |
Summary: With so many social networking tools available, it's easy to see why people want to actively use them at work. The challenge is figuring out how to deal with the human factor. We'll explore this and collaboratively create some strategies to handle objections.
Presenters:  Nancy Lyons and Meghan Wilker launched the Geek Girls Guide in January 2008 as a place to publish their perspective on the interactive industry and demystify technology for non-technical audiences.
Nancy Lyons: Nancy's fascination with technology and all things geek started in the late '80s, in the early '90s she joined the cast of Bitstream Underground and as its president helped shape the local technology landscape. As President and CEO of Clockwork Active Media Systems, Nancy is surrounded by brilliant teachers and technologists and enjoys the daily challenges of making web technology simple and accessible for a wide variety of audiences. In May of 2001, Nancy was chosen as one of the Twin Cities' 40 under 40 by City Business, and in July of 2004 Nancy was chosen as one of the Twin Cities' Women To Watch by the Business Journal.
Meghan Wilker: Meghan began her career at Gage in the mid-nineties, working as an Account Executive and a Copywriter. In 2000, she made the shift to Interactive when she joined Bitstream Underground (a Twin Cities ISP and web development shop) as a Senior Project Manager. Subsequently, she served as Creative Director at a small Minneapolis ad agency and was an integral part of establishing and growing integrated Interactive teams at nationally-recognized ad agencies Martin Williams and Colle+McVoy. In May 2006, Meghan joined Clockwork Active Media Systems as Managing Director. In 2009, the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal named Meghan one of 25 Women to Watch at their annual Women in Business awards.

Making Connections
by Steve Nguyen, Past President
In November, I had the opportunity to attend the DevLearn conference in San Jose. I've been to other learning conferences in the past, but the DevLearn conference was, without a doubt, the most content-rich I have ever attended. And it wasn't all because of the sessions.
