In my line of work you have to do what works - even if it defies convention. A great reminder to get me started on my day! Great recap and advise – I wish I had been there.

Clearly, companies that want to ride the social media wave to engage customers must be flexible and willing to learn--quickly.

Tonja, I am going to contact you for a quote or two for my book: 18 Rules of Community Engagement. I am so pleased that people are rising up against the naysayers and proving that connecting through social media is extremely beneficial for all organizations.

To be sure, there were similar themes of idea champions and risk takers with a passion for entering the SM space. I love the ROI definition you shared. In the sessions I attended ROI was largely discussed in terms of social capital like consumer engagement, though the companies said they will be digger deeper in the coming year. Which means we'll have a lot more to learn at next year's event! I attended the other track of workshops, so I appreciate an update on what I missed.
