The Online Community Unconference East is a gathering of online community professionals - managers, developers, business people, tool providers, investors - to discuss experience and strategies in the development and growth of online communities. Those involved in online community development, and social software in general, share many common challenges: community management, tools, marketing, business models, and legal issues. As we have found with our past events, the best source of information on all of these challenges is other knowledgeable practitioners.

As the lines between content technologies continue to blur, the business implications of your content strategies need to be crystal clear. You need to make your web content part of an integrated platform for customers, partners, and employees.
