DETAILS:

Social marketing, cloud computing, geo-location, oh my. It’s a new year. In what new technology should we invest our time and energies to stay innovative and connect with our communities? What worked in 2009 and what flopped? How do you know which technologies are hype, and which could make or break success in 2010? Join experts and entrepreneurs from Silicon Valley, the Minneapolis Start-up Community, and the Fortune 500 Community for a rousing discussion on emerging technologies and predictions for the future of start-ups, tech and integrated marketing.

We’ll review current predictions for 2010 and review past technology predictions in 2009, including social media's and mobile's connection to geo-location and real time, cloud computing, Silicon Valley trends, the start-up community's pulse and the Fortune 500 mix.
