Our Featured
Topic:
"What’s It All About? Social
Networking – The How, What, Where, When, and Why for Supply
Professionals”
Prior to about 1993,
most supply professionals never heard of the Internet even though
it had been around since the 1960’s. It was used mainly by
the U.S. Department of Defense and a few universities. The Internet
in just a few years has become an integral part in sourcing,
tracking, evaluating, managing, bidding, and decision making with
the supply function. Business people had to learn Internet lingo to
survive.
In the first decade of the 21st century, the
Internet has reached another plateau in providing new tools for
purchasing professionals. Social networking, blogging, twittering,
YouTube, LinkedIn, Plaxo, Jigsaw, FaceBook, Flixster, Facebook,
MySpace, and XING are the new Internet language. What’s it
all about?
Join us for our May dinner meeting and find out
all about:
• What is Social
Networking?
• Why get involved with Social Networking as
a supply professional?
• How to get started?
• What is the difference between YouTube,
blogging, twittering?
• What are some of the established social
networks?
• Which ones are the ones for
you?
Come ready to learn a whole new way of connecting
with other supply professionals as well as a new
Internet-talk.
