The Techonomy conference is organized by Techonomy Media Inc. (www.techonomy.com).  The conference brings together global leaders to explore how technology and innovation can accelerate progress in business and society. Techonomy is not a tech conference - it's a conference about how tech is changing everything else.  The 2011 event takes place Nov. 13-15 at the Ritz-Carlton Dove Mountain Hotel near Tucson, AZ.

Welcome to the Social Enterprise
Attendees of Benioff, Cook and Hamel's discussion will learn about the social revolution that is taking place. The number of social networking users has surpassed email users. Nearly a quarter of all time spent online is spent on social networks like Facebook. And people access the Internet more from mobile devices than from desktops. Salesforce.com is helping companies meet the challenge of this social revolution with the social enterprise. Today, companies must change the way they collaborate, communicate and share information with customers and employees to stay competitive. By leveraging salesforce.com's social, mobile and open cloud technologies, companies can transform themselves into social enterprises by developing social profiles of customers, creating employee social networks and building customer and product social networks.
