dellb2b92 The second Dell B2B Social Media Huddle (hashtag: #dellb2b) took place at Microsoft in London on May 25, 2010. The aim of the one-day event was to bring together senior in-house communications and marketing professionals to exchange and share experiences on business-to-business social media for mutual benefit.

Each of the presentations, and some of the unconference sessions, were live-broadcast via UStream (see the video recordings) and audio-recorded for FIR Speakers & Speeches podcasts.

In this FIR Speakers & Speeches podcast, branding expert and public relations professional Rob Shimmin presents the case for why B2B CEOs don’t tweet. It was one of the most popular unconference sessions at this event.

  • While listening to the audio, you can follow the presentation itself with the PowerPoint deck embedded below (or see it at Slideshare).
