Robert Scoble and Shel Israel Talk Social Media in Santa Rosa

Robert Scoble and Shel Israel are two significant names in the social media world.  Their book, Naked Conversations: How Blogs are Changing the Way Businesses Talk with Customers defined blogging back in 2006 and changed the way businesses looked at the Internet. They taught people that blogs offer businesses a way to have meaningful conversations with their customers, which was lacking in traditional methods of communication.

Both have spoken at some of the largest social media conferences in the world and now they are coming up to Santa Rosa for one night on September 10th.  The two haven’t been on the same stage for over two years and for only $25.00 you can see them reunite for the Wisdom of We 2010 Seminar & Tweetup (or #WOW10 or the Naked Reunion).

They will be participating in a round table discussion, which means that attendees can ask them any question they want about social media, blogging, creating communities, working together, or….   This kind of information usually comes at a very high price at seminars or conferences, and you usually have to pay extra for the food and drinks.

At Wisdom of We 2010 Seminar & Tweetup, everything is included in the price.

Wine from the Northern Sonoma County Wine Road, which includes some of the best pinot, sparkling and zinfandel that Sonoma County has to offer will be poured at the tweetup. Local Sonoma County charcuterie, antipasto and cheeses will be provided by the Hilton Sonoma Wine Country as well.

You have a week left to buy your tickets online for only $25.00, so make sure to get some for your whole office, ASAP.
