The Social Media seminar by David Perry & Associates was at once practical and visionary. David Perry crystallizes key concepts with remarkable clarity, and conveyed them with the passion and ease of the skilled communicator that he is. The panel of practitioners was effective in discussing the intersection between social media and the real world of business. The seminar is targeted at PR professionals, but the content is timely and relevant for anybody in a leadership business role.

While silicon valley develops many of the technologies that drive social media, it takes a change in the behavior of individuals for the the impact to be felt, as old-timers change their habits, and new businesses are built around new capabilities. With social media, the bottom line impact is increasingly evident, and the pace of change is quickening. I found this seminar to be a productive use of my time.
