On Monday, Socialtext’s VP of Products and co-founder Adina Levin (@alevin) will be speaking at the Social Business Edge event in New York City. The topic of her talk will be “Open For Business: Privacy in an Open World,” and you can watch it live on the conference website.
The event begins at 9:30 a.m. eastern, and we expect Adina’s talk to occur sometime shortly after 12 p.m. eastern, so be sure to stay tuned online and follow the Socialtext twitter handle throughout the day.
Adina’s talk should serve as nice follow up to a post written this week by our CEO, Eugene Lee (@eugenelee), about the complex and sophisticated privacy model we have baked into our products. From an architectural perspective, Adina and her team think very deeply about how the power to share information using social tools must be countered with businesses unique privacy needs. In her talk Monday, Adina plans to discuss how privacy is still very much alive in the age of social tools. She’ll also highlight the importance of context in sharing information with social technologies.
This will be the inaugural year for the Social Business Edge event, which will be hosted by Stowe Boyd (@stoweboyd), a widely recognized expert on social tools and their effect on business, media and society. While the room will be packed with luminaries and practitioners in the enterprise social software world, you can watch it at home. We encourage you to watch it live. The Twitter hashtag for the event will be #sbenyc.
Meanwhile, stay tuned for Eugene’s upcoming keynote at the Enterprise 2.0 Conference in Boston in June, where the topic will center around the business value of social software.
