Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and more: social media dramatically affect the way people interact with each other—and how they interact with companies like yours. By now, you've heard lots of "gurus" talk about how companies can reach their target audiences directly through these new media. But, have you considered how you can become an über-connected company by leveraging social media in your ecosystem? After this seminar, you will.

Join Sandy Carter, VP Software Business Partners and Midmarket at IBM Software Group, as she addresses the hows and whys, the cans and can'ts, and the dos and don'ts of using social media to reach ecosystem partners. Plus, learn how to leverage your partners as part of your overall social marketing program.
