BroadVision Corporate Headquarters (map)
You're invited to join Clearvale SecondFloor -- a new enterprise 2.0 speaker series and networking event -- for a presentation and Q&A with renowned author and social media expert Charlene Li.
Li is founder of the Altimeter Group -- a leading business technology research and advisory firm -- and author of the recent New York Times and Wall Street Journal bestseller, Open Leadership: How Social Technology Can Transform the Way You Lead. She was named one of the 100 Most Creative Minds in Business in 2010 and Most Influential Women in Technology in 2009 by Fast Company, and serves as a driving force of innovation in business today. Her latest book lays out a new approach for businesses and organizations to gain a competitive advantage in today's socially driven market.
Hosted by Dr. Pehong Chen, Founder and CEO of BroadVision, the event will take place on the second floor of BroadVision's corporate headquarters, located in Redwood City, CA.
Free copies of Charlene's new book will be distributed and she'll be conducting a book signing immediately after the Q&A, so join us for food and refreshments as we spend the evening conversing with one of the best and brightest minds in business and social technology.
RSVP today -- we look forward to seeing you on the SecondFloor!

Elaine Johnson CPSThought provoking interview that left a feeling of being in the right place at the right time.

Loretta RamosNext meeting, you might want to consider cutting down on the three camera people. They often were distracting. Perhaps give them a chair in the aisle? It was difficult focus on the discussion when you are unable to see Charlene's face.

Benny KirshIt was an amazing event!!! Everything was just great; the topic, the speakers, the venue.

Catriona MeneyI thought Charlene and her content were excellent, and enjoyed the way the "interviewer" took us through the key elements and stages of the book and its premise. However, the technology was HORRIBLE - we were in front and could hardly hear her, as the mic was not working properly and nobody addressed it, we were disrupted by the NOISY/TALKATIV
E technical crew, the constant "CLICK/CLICK" of the photographer, and finnaly the airconditioner kicking in
Summary - premise and concept great - opening speaker/topic excellent - technical logistics and crew sub-standard and annoying

Roger NolanCharlene Li is an excellent speaker. The discussion was very useful and interesting. I came away from it with a number of ideas. This is a great start to the series.

Mike McCallGreat first meeting... Charlene had incredible insights as did Pehong Chen. Looking forward to the next event!

Diane HarriganThis was a highly-informative event -- absolutely brilliant! Charlene Li offered up so much valuable insight - the importance of the "symphony of voices" to collaborate and how to build relationships so they can be strong and resiliant. "Define how open you can be," early on struck me as an important best practice. It was also a wake-up call about how much a business can miss out if they're only measuring the transaction and not the 'relationship'. It was also so timely as Facebook unveiled their location sharing feature 'Places'. It's interesting to get Charlene's perspective as to how social media can enhance our messaging and branding if effectively applied. We're a lot less afraid of it today, but still going through a major learning curve. This was a wonderful opportunity to plug into fresh analysis by an important social technolgies thought leader. Thank you BroadVision for hosting this hugely successful gathering!
