Sorry for the very late notice, I only found out about the event this morning...

Please join us at the Social Networking - Wasting Time or Creating Value? event on 4th November 2008.

At this latest IBM FSS Technical Forum event we will be discussing the impact of Social Networking in the enterprise during the meeting at the Bristol Marriott Royal Hotel. This will be followed by a drinks reception, tour and dinner on the SS Great Britain. We look forward to seeing you.
