FraserNet, Inc.’s PowerNetworking Conference is known for attracting top talent from the African-American business community. As in previous years, the 2009 conference will take place in Atlanta.

Sponsors include Ford, Home Depot, Delta, Dell, Pitney Bowes, Coca Cola, Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Chick Fil-A, and other major companies.
To enhance PowerNetworking’s audience engagement, FraserNet consulted with networking and audience engagement veteran Yalanda Lattimore from Sistributions Internet Media, webmaster and editor of DryerBuzz.com. With over 20 years of experience in engaging niche audiences, Yalanda Lattimore, top strategist at Sistributions, devised a goal oriented plan addressing key components and concerns of African Americans in bringing FraserNet’s audience to networking in real time.
“I am truly delighted to work with Sistributions in bringing our twenty year mission online with social media. Yalanda provided a strategy from which we can build while at the same time address our immediate need to launch a program adaptable to the various technology levels of our audience.” says George Fraser, Chairman & CEO of FraserNet Inc.
PowerNetworking 2.0 “Succeeding Through Tough Times” will be clear and help to foster stronger relationships. Both those in attendance as well as viewing through social networking tools will take away a their own unique experiences and a wealth of information. “Our strategy for FraserNet’s PowerNetworking Conference was to deploy networking tools, such as Twitter and Posterous, which allow for quick adaptability and utilization while at the conference,” says Yalanda.
Sistributions will present a unique demonstration during the opening of the conference as well as provide “social networking” concierge service. DryerBuzz.com will also provide on-going coverage over the three day conference.
