One of my major goals as Community Evangelist at LinkedIn is to find opportunities to interact with our users from across different categories: startups to consultants so that I can gauge their LinkedIn experience. Now that task has become all the more exciting given LinkedIn’s recent growth; we currently have over 11 million users at LinkedIn.

I look forward to speaking to about 100 of those fellow LinkedIn users at the upcoming SDForum Marketing SIG event, where we’ll discuss professional networking best practices using LinkedIn. The event is scheduled for this coming Monday (June 11th; starting 6:30 pm in Palo Alto – details below). I’d like to thank Filomena and Ed from SD Forum’s Marketing SIG for inviting me.
