ABOUT THE SUMMIT
During the one-day summit conference we examined the current
effects that web based platforms/networks are creating on economy, energy and
health care sectors and engaged in a constructive brainstorming on
future directions.
Web based social networks are already making its mark in history these
days. While many anticipate that the full power of social media and global networks
will be soon released yet too few researchers study how people
interact with the Web in the business, health and policy related
context and utilize on-line collaborative tools to trigger the mass
behavioral change at the local and global levels.
The Summit Conference exclusive lunch, 12:30-1:30PM, and evening cocktail, 6:00-7:00PM, are per invitation only.
Live webcast provided to the active registered participants.
ABOUT THE SUMMIT CONFERENCE SERIES
The Summit Conference Series provide unique opportunity for high-level
leaders, called to describe their perspective and shape a program of
action, to directly connect with both near and distant
speakers/audience and engage in constructive discussion via novel
communication media intertwining physical and on-line spaces.
The Summit Conference Series talks duration is 10-15 min followed by 5
min Q&A.
