Tara moderating a panel with Muhammad Yunus in Paris, France.
I've spoken at over 150 conferences worldwide from Sydney to Delhi to Austin to Paris. I speak on a wide range of topics, but my core area of expertise is the social web. I've been using social web tools for 21 years (since 1992!) and working in online marketing for more than 14 (1999). If your organization or association needs to know how to apply social web tools to their business, I can craft a seminar, workshop or keynote presentation that will demystify the process. I love speaking to audiences of all sizes.
