WHAT:    As the social media culture continues to boom, companies are
         increasingly concerned with how many people click or join their
         online communities. The click rate is no longer relevant in a
         social Web driven by communities and interactions. Engagement is
         the new Web metric. Neely will discuss how the shift from clicks
         to engagement needs to be understood, and how the customer
         intelligence which results from this new metric will drive better
         business decisions.

"Metrics need to evolve to keep up with changes on the Web," said Neely. "Engagement has emerged as the most effective way to inform marketing and advertising decisions by helping companies better monitor and evaluate what's really going on with their customers and putting them at the center of the process."
