Dachis Group Social Business Summit 2010; Peter Kim’s Preview

We’re just about a week away from hosting the Dachis Group Social Business Summit in Austin. It’s the first in a series of three events being held in each of our company’s geographies. As Managing Director, North America, I’ll be moderating our proceedings in Austin; Lee Bryant and Livio Hughes, Managing Directors Europe will be doing the same the next week in London; and Anne Bartlett-Bragg, Managing Director Asia Pacific will be hosting in Sydney the week after that.

I’m looking forward to the event and will do my best to handle my operational responsibilities during the event, which will be tough with such a great lineup. We were very deliberate in choosing the points of view that would be highlighted on stage – it was important to compose an aggregate perspective on social business. To do so, we’ve asked a world-class group of thought leaders and practitioners, marketers and technologists, and corporates and entrepreneurs, to come together and share their thoughts with a small group in Austin the day before SXSWi starts.

Here’s how the day is scheduled to play out:

• Jeff Dachis, Dachis Group, Opening and Welcome
• Doug Rushkoff, The People’s Business
• Charlene Li, Altimeter Group, Making The Case For Open Leadership
• Jamie Punishill, Citibank, Operationalizing Social Business
• Kate Niederhoffer, Dachis Group, Classic Rocks, Corporate Culture
• Jackie Huba, Ants Eye View, Engaging The One Percenters
• Frank Eliason, Comcast, Social Business and Cultural Change
• Dion Hinchcliffe, Hinchcliffe & Company, Emerging Social Business Strategies in 2010
• Sam Decker, Bazaarvoice, Creating Customer Oxygen
• Rick Maynard, KFC, The Secret Recipe For Social Business Success
• Lane Becker, Get Satisfaction, Work Like The Network
• Karen McGrane, Bond Art + Science, UX Will Make Or Break Social Business
• Stowe Boyd, /Message, Publicy and the Erosion of Privacy
• Christine Morrison, Intuit Turbo Tax
• Lee Bryant, Headshift, Humanising the Enterprise

We have deliberately limited the size of the event to provide greater access among attendees and to facilitate the creation of stronger ties between participants. If you’re going to be attending, I’m excited as you are about the day. Otherwise – see you online; let’s congregate around the hashtag #SBS2010.
