Much has been written about social media as an innovative communication platform for our times. The challenge is how to generate and maintain greater engagement and collaboration to make it more useful and compelling to audiences. In this session, Iggy Pintado, author of the book, Connection Generation proposes that it's all about our attitude, behaviour and the context of how we connect to truly derive optimal social and commercial benefits.
