Once upon a time, in a land far, far away…
Actually on 11 May 2004, Matt Mower 'IM'ed me that he and PaoloValdemarin (both of evectors and k-collector fame) had been talking about arranging a "SocialNetworking for Enterprises" event in London.
They were inspired by the fact that both Stowe Boyd and I are going to be in Nice, France to present at the iDate conference on 15-16 July 2004. Stoweand I had both, separately, expressed our individual interests in getting together with our EU cohort for some type ofevent.
Subsequently, on 18 May 2004, there was an IRC chat with a number of folksincluding Matt Mower, Marc Canter, MartinRoell, Ross Mayfield (host of the Social Tools forEnterprises Symposium Socialtext space), Paolo Valdemarin, Lilia Efimova, Lee Bryant, Suw Charman, a number ofothers, and myself. Since that daymany emails and IM chats laterthis event has really begun to take shape. Largelythanks to the un-flagging efforts of Matt Mower. Go Matt!
In London, on 12 July 2004, there will be an "event aimed to be a practical get go for CxO's in Enterprises as to howsocial tools & methods can help them with problems like insufficient collaboration, low innovation and unmanagedrisk" according to some early thoughts from Matt Mower'sweblog…
Stowe posts a link to the venue information for this London Symposium, scheduled to take place at the Bloomsbury Square Training Centre and which is nowbeing organized by KM Cluster.
