Enterprise 2.0 Santa Clara kicked off today with pre-conference workshops, where attendees filled up rooms to get their social business education on. As I walked through the convention center, I saw a lot of old friends, colleagues, as well as first time attendees who were in awe of all the great content Paige Finkelman put together for the event.  As usual, the twitter feed was active with great pieces of information that attendees were getting from the workshops.  (Reminder the official hashtag is #e2conf)

I was able to attend a few sessions this morning and in the spirit of sharing, I want to pass along some things I learned at Day 1 of Enterprise 2.0 Santa Clara:

1. Internal (Enterprise) communities are a good way to expose needs and matching needs of members.
2. You have to share what is good and what is not so good to get a true sense of what is working and what isn’t.
3. Community is about getting members to a certain level of “social comfort” #e2conf (@rhappe)
4. Community is where work happens.
5. When welcoming new members, there is always a “what’s next”
6. Advocates play a huge role in enterprise communities
   1. Share community  work
   2. Increase & reach – word of mouth
   3. Prune & Create
   4. Source of Trusted Feedback

I can tell you that my brain is very happy after absorbing all of the information today. I’m looking forward to continuing my Enterprise 2.0 Santa Clara education tomorrow.
