I attended last year, and was impressed to see all the corporate web leaders (web strategists) attending. Steve Gehlen for the Internet Strategy Forum, who founded ISF, has done a great service to our industry, in fact, he and I worked together to form the Silicon Valley chapter a few years ago.<\/p>\n

We both realize that many of the readers of this Web Strategy Blog would love to attend the ISF conference, so we’re giving away two free tickets.<\/p>\n

Last time, I gave away tickets for Graphing Social Patterns<\/a> (John Bell, a winner rated it 4\/5 stars<\/a>) by running a contest, it worked pretty well, and I’d like to do this again.\/ The winners will be announced in new blog post and this post will be updated (so bookmark it).<\/p>\n

I will be selected two winners who answer the following question:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1) Question: What is the future of Corporate Websites in 5 years?
\nI’ll be looking for out-of-the-box thinking, plausibility, and ability to logically connect the dots why and how your 5 year prediction will happen. <\/p>\n

2) Write it clearly and succinctly, points assigned for brevity.
\nEffective strategists are excellent communicators.<\/p>\n

3) What percentage will you attend the conference?
\nI want to give these tickets to someone who’ll really use it, I encourage you to answer this even if you don’t plan to attend, have fun with it!\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Thanks for reading, I’m grateful to get enough traction now to reward readers with conference tickets, books, and the ability to network. Have fun with this, and strut your stuff strategists!<\/p>\n

Update June 28:<\/strong> I’d like to thank Christopher Smith and Kristie Conner for their excellent responses (scroll down) to their vision of the future of the corporate website. While everyone provided excellent answers, I enjoyed hearing the focus on people from Chris (sites become social) and Kristie’s notion on ‘fluity’ of the future of the corporate website –it’ll spread both off domain and aggregate social content. Thanks all for playing. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
