Sam is a sociologist who specializes in technology and organizations. She has been a speaker at industry and academic conferences including mesh -- Canada's Web Conference, the Information Architecture Summit and has even presented in Second Life, a virtual world. Using a range of methods including interviewing, observation and ethnography, she consults on digital product design, organizational change and the social aspects of technological innovation.

SMBOttawa



SMBOttawa has been organized and hosted by Simon Chen, Rob Lane and Ryan Anderson since 2008. SMBOttawa's breakfast networking events are inspired and have evolved from the Social Media Breakfast concept started by Bryan Person in Boston:

". . . as an almost-monthly event where social media experts and newbies alike come together to eat, meet, share, and learn. Marketers, PR pros, entrepreneurs, bloggers, podcasters, new media fanatics, and online social networkers are all welcome to attend."
