ASAE is hosting its Annual Tech Conference, December 6-8, at the Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC. CEOs, CTOs, CIOs, other technology staff, and marketing and membership professionals will learn how to leverage mobile and digital content for their organizations.

Here are some of the 50+ topics on the agenda: how to create a profitable mobile application, how to handle challenges with an online community, how to develop a user’s experience using a cloud strategy, and how to use Google Analytics.  The three-day technology conference starts with a keynote from AAIM’s CEO John Mancini. He will discuss the social (So), local (Lo) and mobile (Mo) and the implications of “SoLoMo” as well as tactics CIOs should adopt to be “business value producers.”

On Wednesday, December 7, I’ll do a luncheon keynote on the quantifiable business impact of social.  I also hope to challenge the attendees to rethink their strategic use of social tools and context in order to achieve social market leadership. I’m really excited about my forthcoming book published by ASAE’s Association Management Press, Return on IMPACT: Leadership Strategies for the Age of Connected Relationships.

Closing General Session speaker will be David Weinberger, senior researcher at Harvard University’s Berkman Center for the Internet and Society, who will address the future vision of knowledge in a connected world and how government, business, science and education are learning to utilize network knowledge to make smarter decisions.

Dear Friend,

With three minutes, you could help my friend Michael Levin’s kids’ school receive a prize of $500,000.

Kohl’s is running a contest to give $10,000,000 to 20 schools across the country.  Hebrew Academy of Huntington Beach, where Michael’s kids attend, is currently close to the lead.  The competition ends on September 3, and this is the time when votes are most needed.

If you click on www.votehahb.com, you can vote 5 times for the Hebrew Academy of Huntington Beach.  It’s a fantastic school, and a half million dollars would go a very long way!

Thank you!
