Expert Roundtable: Social Media IPOs

What are you doing Thursday around 2pm EST?  If you can, I’d love you to hop on this roundtable conference call I’m doing for Focus.com.

Basically we’re looking at the impact social media IPOs are having on the markets from many angles.  A few names you probably know are also involved and I think it’ll be an interesting discussion.

Here’s the press release:

Industry experts to offer insights on social media IPOs such as LinkedIn, valuation, and projections to online professional network of more than 1 million

SAN FRANCISCO, June 7, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Focus.com, the leading community for business expertise, with more than 1 million members and over 5,000 business and technology experts, today announced it will be hosting an expert online roundtable this week, “Social Media IPOs: The impact of LinkedIn and what’s next. The event will be taking place live on Thursday, June 9, 2011 at 2 PM EDT / 11 AM PDT, and will be open for free to all Focus.com members and experts.

The Focus Expert Roundtable will address the LinkedIn IPO and what it means for the next 18 months. Topics include whether we are in a bubble driven once again by technology; if LinkedIn is worth its valuation, who is next and what can be expected.

Four of the world’s leading authorities on social media IPOs will answer several questions in real time, including:

  • Leigh Drogen, founder and CIO of Surfview Capital, a New York-based investment management firm. Along with running Surfview Capital, Leigh is the co-founder and CEO of Estimize, a platform which enables social finance users to share their earnings and economic estimates.

 

  • Joshua Brown, Editor of TheReformedBroker.com, a blog about financial markets and the economy. Brown is a New York City-based financial advisor at Fusion Analytics.
