How Important is Social Media To Project Managers?

When most people think of social media, they think of Facebook and maybe Twitter. But social media is any web based platform that creates the possibility of two way interaction. It’s also about more than just having fun – it’s about forming and nurturing relationships – even for business.

So it’s no surprise that Kevin Eyres, managing director for LinkedIn Europe, has been announced as the keynote speaker for this year’s PMI Global Conference 2011 which will take place in Dublin, Ireland at the Convention Centre Dublin, May 9-12. According to the announcement, “Eyres will draw from his experience with one of the world’s largest professionally focused social networks to address how the use of social media can enhance the value project managers bring to their organisations.”
