---

You've heard a lot about social media and how you MUST do it now. Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, blogs, etc...
Come hear from Shaun Dakin, CEO and Founder of The National Political Do Not Contact Registry (StopPoliticalCalls.org) who used the power of both traditional media and social media to drive the conversation around Political Robocalls during the 2008 election cycle. With no budget and no staff, Shaun was able to testify at the US Senate, recruit 85,000 members, and be interviewed live on CNN, MSNBC, XM Radio and countless other media outlets.
Moderating the discussion will be Giovanni Calabro, Siteworx Vice President of User Experience. Giovanni has successfully lead Web strategy and consulting engagements for clients such as U.S. News & World Report, USATODAY.com, AOL, PayPal, Coldwell Banker Commercial, American Diabetes Association, Massachusetts Medical Society, and many others.
