Chris Brogan is Vice President of Strategy and Technology at CrossTech Media. When it comes to social media, Chris is at the very top of the list of advisors people seek out. Chris uses social media and technology to build digital relationships for businesses, organizations, and individuals. It's all about authentic conversations between co-workers, customers, and even competitors. He is one of the rising stars of the independent, small media publishing world. Chris epitomizes the word evangelist. He's a prolific writer about more than just technology, and he gives freely of himself advising scores of people about what social media is and how to get in the game.

Chris blogs, writes articles, and makes media of all kinds at chrisbrogan.com. Skilled in new media creation (blogging, podcasting, videoblogging) as well as social media community building (through sites like Facebook, Ning, Twitter, and others), his strength is in connecting passionate people together for business, collaboration, and networking.

Chris is cofounder of the PodCamp UnConference series (with Christopher S. Penn) exploring the use of new media community tools to extend relationships and build value. There have been over 40 PodCamps all over the world, including Sweden, South Africa, and Australia, as well as cities throughout the United States.

At CrossTech Media Chris specializes in providing information and services to business customers around their technology and social media needs. His focus is on technologies like virtualization, unified communications, social media strategies, content management, data warehouse technologies, and more. He shows businesses how to reduce operating expenses, improve workflow, simplify operational complexity, and more.

Blending the worlds of "wow, this is neat!" and "you could use this for business applications," Chris brings a strong focus on how communities and marketplaces differ and intersect.

Chris lives in Massachusetts with his wife and two children. He travels frequently, speaks at conferences, attends several social media networking events, and is generally a fun guy to be around.
