Date set for Enterprise 2.0 Executive Forum

Ross has posted details of the next Enterprise 2.0 Executive forum, planned for 24 February 2009 in Sydney. The preliminary agenda is below and, as you can see, it looks packed to the rafters.

This year's event, also in February (see my blog post over at the Melcrum Blog) was probably my favourite of the year. Its mix of a high-intensity program, short but superb case studies and quality collaborative/group sessions really worked well and it's a style that's become a hallmark of Future Exploration Network events.

If I can make it, I'll definitely be there in February 2009 and I'd recommend it to anyone else.

Ross has also mentioned another conference that he's chairing - Online Social Networking & Business Collaboration World - which features a lineup of senior figures from companies including Friendster, Google and Bebo. This event is run by AC Events, who made a great job of the PRIA conference in Freemantle in October (400 attendees). If it gets into detail with good, practical examples and high-level thinking as opposed to beginner lessons or sales pitches it could well be worth the time and money.
