I find it a little bit hilarious that the, "...IAEE published an excellent white paper on using Social Media for Meetings and Events. Unfortunately, when it came time for IAEE’s major event, they didn’t read their own white paper." but everyone else seems to at least get the message. Im looking forward to seeing whats in store for the future. Do you have any bold predictions you're willing to publicly profess? As always, excellent article.
