TheSocialBusinessForum

Blue Focus Marketing® (@BlueFocus) is excited to announce that founders Cheryl Burgess (@CKBurgess) and Mark Burgess (@MNBurgess) will be speaking at the 7th Annual Social Business Forum, set to take place at the Marriott Hotel in Milan on July 1 & 2. The event, which is organized by OpenKnowledge (@openknow), brings together many prominent thought leaders in social business and is considered Europe’s leading event on employee empowerment, customer engagement, and collaborative innovation.

For Blue Focus Marketing®, the event is an opportunity to expand on many of the concepts introduced in the Amazon best-selling book The Social Employee (McGraw-Hill, 2013). Both presentations will approach the world of the social employee (@SocialEmployee) from different angles, with Cheryl Burgess examining how social executive leadership drives social business success, and Mark Burgess laying out a blueprint for creating a thriving social business pilot program.

As a way of announcing this year’s Social Business Forum, the Harvard Business Review Italy, one of the forum’s sponsors, will also be publishing a 70 – 90 page booklet in June, with contributions from both Cheryl Burgess and Mark Burgess, as well as many of the forum’s other speakers.

For further details, announcements, and information on the forum’s agenda, please visit the Social Business Forum website. And stay tuned to the Blue Focus Marketing blog and Twitter feed for more information and content relating to the forum in the coming weeks.
