Change of plans: December – Less Political, More Authentic

Due to a sudden change of plans, we're disappointed to announce that one of our scheduled speakers for December's event, Patricia Tessier will not be able to present details on the Digital Plan for Quebec (Un plan numerique pour le Quebec).

Rest assured that dinner is still on but with a change of subject matter. Michelle Blanc will be presenting to our group on the topic of "Authentic Presence on the Web" and demonstrating the importance for brands and companies to allow for transparency and honest communications. (hmm.. perhaps the politicians could learn from this?!)

Michelle Blanc is Founder and President of Analyweb, a consultancy company specializing in e-business management and marketing. She is globally, one of the most popular French bloggers (michelleblanc.com) and founder of YulBiz.org, an international movement of business bloggers gathering in over 6 countries worldwide. Recently, Michelle was featured in the Yahoo Canada Big Idea Chair and appeared as a guest on the hit Quebec TV show “Tout le monde en parle” (view the clip below).

We do hope to feature Patricia at a future Montreal Girl Geek Dinner talk in 2009 so stay tuned.

C’est avec regret que nous devons vous aviser que Patricia Tessier doit reporter sa présentation sur Un plan numérique pour le Québec prévue pour le 1er décembre.

Des bonnes nouvelles - nous allons maintenir cette même date (et même endroit), mais nous allons vous proposer une version ajustée de la soirée.

Michelle Blanc a accepté de discuté l’authenticité sur web ainsi que l’importance de la transparence pour entreprises en ligne autant que pour leur branding. (hum… les politiciens à l’écoute!?)
