# Want some time with Forrester’s Charlene Li? Internet Strategy Forum, Jive give you two opp’s

[![Internet Strategy Forum Summit 2008](https://i0.wp.com/siliconflorist.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/06/imgisfsummit2008.jpg?w=925)](http://www.internetstrategyforum.org/summit "Internet Strategy Forum Summit 2008")When it comes to A-listers in social media, [Charlene Li](http://twitter.com/charleneli "Charlene Li on Twitter") of [Forrester Research](http://www.forrester.com/rb/analyst/charlene_li "Charlene Li") is right up there. So I can totally understand why you’d jump at the chance to spend some time with her.

Well, the good news is that she’ll be coming to Portland. The better news is that you’ll get the chance to spend some time with her—in person and in hardback—but you have to act quickly.

Charlene is going to be speaking on “creating social strategies that work” at the [Internet Strategy Forum Summit](http://www.internetstrategyforum.org/summit "Internet Strategy Forum Summit") in Portland on July 17. (So that’s your in-person time.) And, now, [Jive Software](http://jivesoftware.com "Jive Software") has offered a free copy of Charlene’s new book, **Groundswell**, (that’s your hardback time) to the first 250 people to register and attend the event. (You have to be there to get the book.)

[**Groundswell**](http://www.forrester.com/Groundswell/book.html "Groundswell") provides Charlene’s analysis of some of the top corporate uses of social media strategies within and without the “enterprise.”

And for that ever-popular “local flavor”? **Groundswell** also features Portland’s own [Josh Bancroft](http://twitter.com/jabancroft "Josh Bancroft") and his social-media work at [Intel](http://intel.com "Intel").

Who knows? Maybe you could get Charlene *and* Josh to autograph it for you?

### But wait, there’s more

So, you get time with Charlene Li and you get her book for free. What could be better?
