26th Nov (enteprise 2.0) + 11th Dec (Dragon's Den)

Quick note to inform you about the forthcoming events for 2008.

Enterprise 2.0 - 26th Nov 08 at eOffice Manchester

Enterprise social software or Enterprise 2.0 describes social software used in "enterprise" (business) for collaboration internally and externally. In contrast to traditional enterprise software that imposes structure prior to use, enterprise 2.0 software encourages use prior to providing structure. The Northern Enterprise 2.0 debates the success of social software within the enterprise in addition to exploring opportunities presented within the enterprise for northern digital startup companies.
