San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) March 31, 2008 -- Forum One Networks, the online strategy and development firm, announced its discussion leaders for the latest invitation-only Online Business Community Forum held in Santa Fe, New Mexico on April 14-15, 2008. The event is combining the brains of the industry with the beauty of Santa Fe for a business discussion with leaders who drive active online communities.
Discussion leaders include; Rohit Bhargava, of Ogilvy on social media; Robin Harper, Linden Lab on Second Life; Matthew Lees of Patricia Seybold Group on online community metrics; Barry Liebert of Mzinga on internal and external community linking; David Silver of Santa Fe Capital on smart start-ups; Rawn Shaw of IBM on developer communities; Robert Dell of VMWare on community metrics and reporting; Ravi Mehta of Viximo on the real value from virtual worlds; Rachael Makool of Ebay on community strategy and development. Representatives from Apple, MTV and Furlong and Associates are also scheduled to present on community related topics.
"'Why Santa Fe?' all our Silicon Valley folks wanted to know. Well, nothing like a beautiful setting to inspire the smartest industry leaders in the business," stated Bill Johnston, chief community officer of Forum One Networks. "We have an amazing lineup of discussion leaders for this Forum. And our attendee list includes great minds in online community from Adobe Systems Inc, Apple, Cisco, Buzznet, eBay, HP, ibelong, IBM, Linden Lab, MTV, Mzinga, O'Reilly Media, Patricia Seybold Group, VMWare, WebEx, work.com and Yahoo! It's the perfect opportunity for online community professionals to network, exchange ideas, have some fun and enjoy the beautiful Santa Fe landscape."
About the invitation-only format, Johnston says, "We do limit attendance so that we can have the lively, interactive discussions Forum One events are known for. The unstructured exchange of ideas to promote healthy business and professional growth is a very closely held belief for us. But I wouldn't characterize our process as being elitist or snooty. We believe that limiting attendance to invitees allows us to grow by referral, and we do allow folks who are interested to request an invitation."
Professionals interested in attending the event should email Johnston at mailto: bjohnston @ ForumOne.com.
