This is the event for you!
Ragan has brought together the leaders in intranets for this one-day summit, Ragan Intranet Summit 2011:
• Hear from Andy Jankowski how you can change your intranet from an ignored content wasteland to a busy digital workshop where each employee has social media tools for every part of his or her job
• Get your notepads ready—we have two winners of the Nielsen Norman Group’s 10 Best Intranets awards
• See how Safeway is paving the way for increased intranet use by its workers with gamification

Intranets will dominate employee communications, and social media networks will make intranets more critical to business success than ever.
