Name/Job/Company\nTalking about leveraging the power of LinkedIn wherever you are.\n
You got an invitation to this website when you registered for the conference.\n\nHow many people used it? Did you find it useful? Isn’t it cool that you can use this app to connect with other people? \n
So easy to set up your profile!\nI’m really busy – no time for this stuff, usually put it off because I hate doing it again and again.\nAlways keep my LinkedIn profile up to date (work here)\nIncredibly quick to import, edit and set up so people can see information about me\n
Once I was set up, found other people – people I didn’t even know were coming. \nSet up some meetings\nReally felt connected to the conference community before it even started\nSo helpful since the conference is so far from home, \n\nPresdo is dedicated to improving people’s experience at events just like this by helping people connect with each other in person – and using your LinkedIn professional identity for this is a perfect fit…\n\nGreat example of what I’m going to be talking about.\n
Back up a bit and give you some context about what LinkedIn is all about.\n\nThis is our mission – connect the world’s professionals to make them more productive and successful.\n\nEasy!\nBut not with just a website\nProvide value wherever you are\nWebsite easy part – connect and engage mobile, applications, web\n
What am I going to cover?\n\nFirst, “Your Professional Life”…\n\nWho are our members, and what value does LinkedIn bring to them?\n
… On the go\n\nLinkedIn’s platform powers mobile clients, application integrations, and plugin system. \nI’ll talk a little bit about our platform and how it works\nWalk you through applications and websites using that platform.\n
OK, first, if we want to do a good job of providing what our members need, we need to know who those members are. \n\nLinkedIn US Audience 360 Study.  Based on 3,922 US LinkedIn Members age 18+.  \n
Healthy income, nearly half have household income over $100K\nHalf are executives or business owners, another 25% are managers…\n
Influential about the choices that their companies make.\n
We work hard to help members find current, relevant content. \nShared in professional context, meaningful\n\nSuccessful professionals – and professionals trying to become more successful.\nTurn to trusted sources, like LinkedIn\n\n… good value for the time you spend on LinkedIn\n
Members first. Committed to helping you be more successful.\n
Main goal: making you more successful\nMore productive, connected, informed about things that matter\nBusy people, need high value out of time spent\n\nThe first value is Identity\nLinkedIn is the Professional Identity of Record for our members on the web. \n\nThe second value is Insights\nFantastic at what you do.\nHelp distinguishing the signal from the noise, finding the high value information that will make you most successful\n\nFinally, LinkedIn Everywhere:\nBusy people – wherever they are\nFantastic smart phone applications as well as numerous third party applications integrating LinkedIn. \nTrain platform\n
Mentioned Professional profile – what does that mean?\nGather information together into one place\nEvolve with career, fresh current\nRecommendations \nConnections \nBetter representation overall\nMany people have connected with me because of my recommendations, or because of the combination of skills I have – or because of connections we share\n\nProfessional identity travels with you wherever you are, world or web, even out of business cards\n\nProfessional profile – outward facing, people view your profile or search for it, use for integrations\n
To be successful – current with connections, industry, world news\nProfessional dashboard - Quick glance at relevant information\nWhat are your connections up to?\nTop headlines selected just for you – different from colleagues or friends – unique\nAdam’s story about his coworker showing up in headlines\nRight hand side – data\n\nSpringboard deeper into interesting information\n
LinkedIn Today is designed to get exactly the right information in front of you\n\nLinkedIn Today takes articles people have shared and highlights based on industry and activity, so you don’t have to\n\nClicking through from the headlines on your home page to LinkedIn Today lets you see all of the headlines trending for the industries you follow (or the industries LinkedIn thinks you’re most interested in)\nInsights about those articles \nEasier to determine what to read based not just on headline, on who’s interested in it, how many people shared\n\nRight hand column, data\n
Law Industry page\nSimilar to Today, focused on one industry\nInsights relevant to Law\nData column – publishers in Law, related other industries\n\nExample of digging deep, breadth *and* depth\n
Connect with like-minded people, share, discuss\nCompany, industry, technology, personal interests\nGreen – green business practice – passionate as you – share ideas\niPhone iPad Group – share tips, articles about technology\nOpen door to new connections \nMini conferences\n\nQuick taste of features, \nHere to talk about how you can use LinkedIn wherever you are\n
Understand what’s possible – platform\nHow to support LInkedIn Everywhere\nIn order to support… strong platform\nGreat platform works for developers, makes customers happy, flexibility and stability to support business\nSupports our partners, open devs, mobile – critical part of strategy\nPower our products, first class product\n
Robust REST backend – system used by mobile.\nJavascript, built on REST, for web devs wanting to add integration\n\nBoth frameworks provide information about profile, connections\nRead and write social stream/groups\nSearch for people, companies or jobs\n\n… our API frameworks gives developers the power to create interesting and compelling experiences for our members.\n\nAside: interested in integrations, please talk to me later if questions on this\n
Not everyone is a dev\nLeverage professional profile without writing complicated code\nFor publishers, professional plugins\nEasy to use, add relevance to what you’re reading – how does it relate to you?\n
Everywhere you are – \nOn your computer, not always on LinkedIn website – (alas!)\nLeverage your professional profile and network wherever you are… on the web.\n
Sites helping you use your own professional profile to enhance your experience\n\nSign In with LinkedIn can be used to provide interesting integrations\nVariety Venture Capital New Media Summit, showed users how they were connected to speakers\nUnderstanding where the speakers fit in your professional network\nFeel like part of the community before deciding whether to attend\nLike Presdo – great way to enhance a user’s conference experience\n
Lots of social networks\nSingle website to present a unified presence \n
