VRM CRM 2010

Harvard University Law School, Cambridge, Mass

... is a workshop for VRM and CRM developers and other professionals, where the process of building out common ground between the two can begin.

The event will be small and mostly by invitation. The emphasis is on working together. The common ground to be built out -- essentially the new marketplace where real two-way relationships can take place, and economic value can be unlocked and grown with mimimal friction -- is potentially enormous. But as yet it does not exist. It is the intention of ProjectVRM and many other interested parties that on 28 August this new marketplace will be born and start growing.

Here are the tentative agendas for both days:

Thursday, 26 August

• VRM: Doc Searls, ProjectVRM; Iain Henderson, MyDex; Renee Lloyd, ProjectVRM; Joe Andrieu, Switchbook...
• CRM: TBD
• Setting topics for the afternoon breakout sessions
• Breakout Sessions

Friday, 27 August

• Recap of Day One (esp. Day 1 afternoon breakout sessions)
• Chris Carfi, Project VRM
• CRM spokesperson (TBD)
• Breakout Session Setting
• Breakout Sessions (2 - 3 tracks, 1 - 2 hours each)

Breakout sessions will happen in corners of the large classroom where the workshop full sessions take place. There are many other spaces, in the halls outside the classroom and out on the lawns and nearby buildings at Harvard Law School, that can also be used. Topics will be chosen by the participants and posted here and on the wall at the main room of the conference. The purpose will be to both to discuss the chosen topic and to develop concrete next steps. These will be presented by each group to the whole conference in the closing sessions each day.
