The event will unite senior-level corporate communicators, media professionals, marketers, technology executives, and analysts in a highly-interactive and educational series of sessions.

Wengroff will serve to unify overall conference messaging, introduce each of the speakers, and ensure that each attendee finds value in the event.  "The goal of the conference will be to present and discuss what's actually working in today's organizations, rather than to simply sell new platforms and services," he explains.  "This conference will not be a vendor pitchfest."

Wengroff will be presenting at 10:30 am PDT on Day One of the conference, Thursday, September 16, 2010, in a session titled, "Paid, Earned or Owned: How the New Rules of Content Have Created Opportunity to Drive ROI—and Risk—for Marketers."  The session will address such topics as the creation of a content-focused culture that drives social media conversations, engagement, positive behaviors, and sales leads.

"Too often, a company charges ahead with a social media strategy, without recognizing that it's a content strategy that needs to be in place at the onset," explains Wengroff.  During his presentation, he will deliver a survey of the changing landscape along with opportunities for creative, dynamic positioning.

Wengroff is responsible for Frost & Sullivan's branding, media relations, webinar programs, social media, communications training, and internal communications.  He also works on content strategy and demand generation programs.  His bio can be viewed at http://www.frost.com/wengroff.
