AGORACOM was once again a proud sponsor of the Reverse Merger Conference held this year at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, June 11 & 12. I presented the Web / Online Investor Relations Speaker Workshop called, ““Using Web 2.0 To Conduct Investor Relations and Gather Intelligence through Blogs, Twitter, iGoogle and RSS Feeds…But What Are They?”
The workshop was the initial step in teaching bankers, fund managers and public companies about the advantages of incorporating social media into their intelligence gathering to cut through clutter, get the information they need and connect with the smartest people on the planet.
Despite the fact it was the last presentation before lunch, the room was pretty full and – more importantly – alive with audience participation. In order to avoid the “he’s the internet guy and I could never do what he does” syndrome, I brought industry stalwart and early Web 2.0 adopter David Feldman of the Reverse Merger & SPAC Blog. David discussed his overwhelmingly positive blogging experience, which opened up the floor to some great questions from the audience.
I am happy to announce the presentation (audio and power point slides) has now been webcast for everyone to listen to and benefit from. If you couldn’t make it to Las Vegas, or were at the Conference but need a refresher, here it is. For your convenience, I have broken it down into 2 parts:
- My presentation
- The Q&A with David Feldman
You can watch the presentations below and then ask any questions by posting them to the comments section. I hope you find the presentation and Q&A as valuable as the audience members at the Reverse Mergers Conference.
As promised, I will follow this up with 5-minute presentations on how to use Twitter, iGoogle and Blogging. Look for them to begin in a few days.
PART 1 – MY PRESENTATION
PART 2 – THE Q&A WITH DAVID FELDMAN
