Australian companies are among the fastest adopters of social media in the world, but why? Because they have little choice... Employees and competitors are already using social media, and marketplace conversations about brands rage on a daily basis. The question is, how will your business join the conversation? Mark will combine his research and insights with a good dose of pragmatism to give you practical tools that you can use when it comes to creating, or expanding your social media strategies.

Join respected Financial Review contributor and technology journalist Mark Jones as he explains why the shift to the real-time web is changing the dynamics of business, where social media is headed and how your company can engage in the online revolution.
