Wednesday, October 19th from 7:00 a.m. – 8:45 a.m.
Speaker: Seth Godin
General Session: Invisible or Remarkable?
Description: The most precious commodity available today is attention. Best-selling author Seth Godin will describe the realities of our postindustrial world. It turns out that ideas that spread win, that stories rule, not facts, and that remarkable products and services are the most profitable and most likely to succeed. He will discuss how to avoid serving the meatball sundae, mismatching the new marketing with the old, and maintaining the status quo. He will also address how to ship products that make a difference, leadership as the most effective form of marketing for a new generation and a new economy, the privilege of becoming a linchpin, and the obligation to "poke the box."
Thursday, October 20th from 9:30 a.m. – 10:30 a.m.
Speaker: Danah Boyd
General Session: Privacy in an Era of Social Media
Description: There is a widespread myth that young people don't care about privacy. Embedded in this myth is an assumption that participation in public social media services indicates a rejection of privacy. Yet, just because people want to participate in public life doesn't mean that they want everything they do to go down on their permanent record or to be publicized for the whole world to see. This talk will examine the strategies that young people take to secure their privacy in highly public environments like Facebook and Twitter and why those in higher ed should care.
