DCLUG is very excited to co-host Louis Richardson who will be in Washington DC December 9th to speak about Social collaboration
I saw Louis speak at MWLUG 2012 and I can attest to what great engaging speaker he is. He is able to distill a concept into a presentation and not make it sound like a sales pitch. The capability speaks for itself, what you need to understand is why you need to use the product, not primarily what the product will do for you.

Louis is a great speaker. The concepts he presents does not necessary apply only to Connections. There are many products and tools that you can use including our favorite, XWork/Domino. Enjoy his presentation. Wish I could be there but the GRANITE LUG meeting is on the same day.
