Chris Brogan’s Summary

I show businesses how to use social media technologies for external community building and outreach, and for internal collaboration. I have over 10 years experience with social media and 16 years experience in enterprise computing environments. I blend emerging tech knowledge with enterprise culture understanding.

I speak at several conferences and for private organizations, bridging business-minded people with technology concepts and helping tech-centric types understand the business implications of their efforts. For more on my speaking, check out http://chrisbrogan.com/connect

I blog, write articles, and make media of all kinds at http://chrisbrogan.com

My background is in applications engineering, project management, and telecommunications. I mix my passion for emerging technology with my ability to build communities using social software.

I am cofounder of the PodCamp unconference series, exploring the use of new media community tools to extend relationships and build value.

I have speaking experience on topics related to Internet video, social media, presentation skills, project management, and life hacking. I have advised companies on these strategies and more.

  My role is to define the Second Circle technologies, those which will impact organizations within the next 6-18 months, and that will require strategic consideration for your business.
