"A digital analyst, sociologist, and futurist, Solis has studied and influenced the effects of emerging media on business, marketing, publishing, and culture. And, he's in Hawaii to talk story and share his new book, The End of Business as Usual with all of you. So, bring your Aloha Spirit and gain some insight on the future of social and new media."
