The power of social networks. That’s what we’ll be discussing at Duarte Design in Mountain View this evening at 6:30 PM, the site of tonight’s Social Media Club San Francisco Silicon Valley chapter.

The evening will kick off the evening with a half-hour fireside chat with John Hagel, network effects expert and Director at Deloitte Consulting LLP.

After the chat Chris Heuer will moderate a discussion with a panel of distinguished social media authors who will share their insights on social networking channels, such as Facebook and Twitter, and provide details on how these tools can powerfully function in the enterprise to help companies accomplish real business objectives.

We will be joined by authors:

In addition to picking up some real-world social media case studies and tips you may also walk away with a free copy of Clara’s book! We will be raffling off a few copies at the end of the event.

Ironically, Nancy Duarte who wrote the uber popular, slide:ology will not be at her office – she’s on a well-deserved vacation. But please send any inquiries about Nancy or the book to tracy@duarte.com.
