Join us for a special one-time Dallas Drupal meetup with Kieran Lal, "Drupal Community Adventure Guide" at Acquia. He'll be in town to discuss building social business software.

Social business is no longer a nice to have, but now a business imperative to improve customer engagement, build loyal partner networks, and improve internal collaboration.

It is now a leading trend that these social elements take place within a company or organization's own online space, providing a number of user and stakeholder benefits.
