Chris Brogan Offers Insights Into Online Business Communication at the Module 09 Midwest Digital Conference

Increasingly, digital media continues to change the way we interact with one another as a seeming limitless procession of options are offered to the business leader each day. Staying on top of the trends while maintaining marketing best practices can, therefore, seem like a daunting task. In the midst of such a challenge to the modern business, we are proud and excited to present Module 09 Midwest Digital Conference attendees with one of new media’s chief voices: Chris Brogan.

Chris Brogan is President of New Marketing Labs, a new media marketing agency, as well as the home of the New Marketing Summit conferences and New Marketing Bootcamp educational events. He helps large and mid-sized businesses understand how to use social media tools like blogging, social networks, community platforms and more to build business value for marketers, sales organizations and internal collaboration in general.

Chris is a ten-year veteran of using social media and technology to build digital relationships for businesses, organizations, and individuals. Chris speaks, blogs, writes articles, and makes media of all kinds at chrisbrogan.com, a blog in the top 20 of the Advertising Age Power150, and in the top 100 on Technorati.

Chris’ presentation at this year’s conference is entitled, “You Shall Know Us By Our Dial tone: Presence in Business Communications.”

There are two possible reasons Barack Obama won the US Presidential election: one is that he had more money and spent it better than his opponent. The other is that he reached out to people via social networks, cell phones, text messaging, Facebook, and all the other places where people spend time that aren’t a traditional landline phone. If you’re cynical, you go for reason 1. If you’re a futurist, you break down reason 2 and figure out how to move forward.

You don’t have time for the future. You have to sell more product. You’ve got things to do. Your inbox is filling up. Your budget is cut. You’re looking for results and it’s not the time to plant a slow-growing forest for future trees. So let’s not go that way.

Join Chris Brogan for a fast-moving discussion on how presence, social software, and the new velocity of online business communications is shaping the way you’ll do business in 2009 and beyond at Module 09 Midwest Digital Conference, April 10, 2009.
