This topic is very apropos for the times, not to mention such an excellent speaker to present it! I vote YES! :)
Allison has that unique ability to convey ideas and knowledge in a way that even the lay person can easily understand, and she does it with warmth and style. (She can also wax a car like nobody's business.) Good luck Allison, you're gonna knock this one out of the park for sure!
Great topic. Great presenter. Allison has a passion for the technology and how it add both business and personal value.
You'll be rocked off your feet With the enthusiasm of Allison's speaking style. This will defintely not be a snoozer. She knows this stuff from real-life experience in dealing with Corp and business unit agendas.
Keep your mind finely tuned and roto-root for ear wax obstructions -- she talks fast!!!
After working with a company whose Chief Technology Officer has been researching the use of Social Collaboration, I know this is a great topic of interest. Allison's passion for technology and enthusiasm for conveying ideas and knowledge are some of the qualities that have made her such a great speaker. This is the kind of topic you will want to hear Allison present.
This sounds like a fantastic presentation. With a entertaining and passionate, yet erudite speaker like Allison, I think this would be well worth the price of admission.
Grab your Safari hat, bug repellant, and butterfly net then strap yourself in for the ride! Allison will no doubt take you on a journey of a presentation as she is an engaging speaker and gracious host. She also rocks a scuba mask which makes her even more qualified for the position because she knows how to breathe. Whatever you do, don't feed the animals and keep your arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times. Pay attention and you're guaranteed to learn something cool that you CAN try at home.
I have been following Allison's podcasts and blogs for five years. She has the unique ability of making very technical topics understandable and fun for the average user. Her comedic wit combined with her foresight make listening to Allison a consistently enjoyable and educational experience. This particular topic is her expertise and answers the questions of the utility of social media in business.
Wow! Sounds like the next blockbuster movie! I think it's be very interesting to hear about Allison's journey with Raytheon to the shores of social collaboration.
I would love to hear Allison Sheridan's presentation on using social media in a corp setting. She's been doing this for years, and her speaking style is so engaging. Don't miss this chance to get great tech tips from someone on the leading edge!
Allison is the best! She is a dynamic speaker and knowledgeable. She has been at the forefront of this topic for years.
Allison is a dynamic speaker and radiates enthusiasm on any topic she addresses. Raytheon is currently implementing a pilot project on social collaboration with new software tools and hardware servers."
You definitely have my vote!!!! I've worked w/ Allison for the last 5 years and she is the most enthusiastic speaker (even one on one) that knows her stuff and is always willing to investigate, evaluate and produce good quality information that is clear and concise. She'll be the best in the house if she's chosen! Good Luck!
Allison will be an outstanding speaker whom you will never forget. She is passionate about what she does, articulate in her speech, quick-witted, entertaining, and pleasant. Best of all, she speaks plainly, not in IT-speak or computer jargon. As previous commentators sugget, clear your mind and roto-root your ears, because Allison talks fast, though never losing her audience, but invigorating them instead. I've worked with Allison for many years and I speak first-hand of my experiences with her.
Allison, I'm looking forward to hearing all about your presentation at Enterprise 2.0! I am certain it will be well received. Cheers!
Allison is a great speaker and motivating! She understands the material very well and conveys in way that makes it easy to understand.
Great topic! Great speaker! This will be the SRO session everyone at the conference talks about!
The description alone shows the enthusiasm of the speaker. If she does not present, why bother going.
La semana pasada mi tio Daniel sonreyendo me explano que puedo comprar Viagra generica en una tienda buena. Llegue a esta tienda y ordene veinte comprimidos de Kamagra. Sin embargo, el sitio es de calidad, jeje. Como se dice, "Un verdadero amigo es quien te toma de la mano y te toca el corazon".
Allison's passion runneth over, she should have her own podcast! oh wait, but seriously anyone who takes the time to explain all the features of the iphone to any new user in her path will also bring to light the importance of social collaboration in corporations with equal enthusiasm. It will be well worth it, go Allison!
Anyone in a sizable company can identify with the complications of introducing a technology that more than half of the population doesn't even understand. I'd love to hear more about the journey!
The political intricacies of implementing a technologically complex social media innovation in a large organization is a spellbinding and instructive story! Not to be missed!
Allison has been a great advocate for social media (blogs, wikis, forums, podcasts, etc) to promote collaboration. She has managed to bring these technologies into a very large corporate environment. Her work is appreciated and I would be very interested to see what obstacles she overcame to gain acceptance by "powers to be". Anyone who is considering social media implementation in a large corporation would be wise to attend to learn how risks were mitigated. She is very knowledgeable and I am positive that anyone that attends her session will leave with valuable information.
To paraphrase the Session Description: Ms. Sheridan is an enthusiastic speaker ... and she radiates her passion for ... whatever she talks about.
Allison has forgotten more about social media than I will ever learn! Seriously she gets it.
You can't be bored when Allison's presenting. And if you're not careful you'll learn something new and useful.
Good luck Allison.
Allison is a dynamic and passionate speaker, presenting on an interesting and relevant topic. Hope to see her at Enterprise 2.0.
Allison will not only bring an intelligent and thoughtful perspective on this topic, but she will deliver it in such a way that the audience will be delightfully captivated and they won't want the presentation to end.
Allison will do a fantastic job. She loves what she does and loves telling people about it even more.
Supplemental to all the comments above, Allison is also one of the most passionate believers in the concept that support organizations should do "whatever it takes" to make their customers successful.
Great topic! Allison is a passionate speaker that will demonstrate the value of social collaboration in the business industry!
