Social technologies have impacted every industry, and most in a disruptive nature as middle men (and women) have been cut out, consumers turn to each other, and the lines of communication have become direct. The Industry Analyst space, which is known for research, advisory, insights, and ability to influence buyers and media, has directly been influenced.<\/p>\n

While we’ve lately seen some major changes to the industry analyst space using social technologies, the question that many (buyers of research, Analyst Relations, Analysts, and their management) are wrestling with is ‘how’ does social technologies impact the space, and how can I take advantage of it. \u00a0 Some questions that quickly come to mind are: how does social impact research, client relations, vendor relations, influence, media interactions, premium or syndicated content, conferences and events, and can buyers of technology simply connect to each other and bypass analysts all together?<\/p>\n

We’re going to take these topics\u00a0head-on<\/em>, as we’ll be hosting a no-cost roundtable discussion (no slides) with the top thinkers on this space. Please join Jonny Bentwood, (Technobabble<\/a>, @jonnybentwood<\/a>) who has undertaken efforts to measure social influence in the space, Barbara French (Tekrati<\/a>,\u00a0@bfr3nch<\/a>)\u00a0an understated long-time influencer in the analyst space, as well as Carter Lusher, a dynamic commentator, former Gartner Analyst and former HP AR professional now at SageCircle<\/a>, @carterlusher<\/a>.<\/p>\n
