    Sentiment Analysis Symposium to Spotlight Agency, Finance, Technology, and Social Media Thought Leaders, November 9, 2011 in San Francisco

    PRWeb – Thu, Jul 14, 2011

    Consumer and business sentiment and opinion hold unique value for marketers, customer service, public relations, and capital-markets traders. The San Francisco Sentiment Analysis Symposium (http://www.sentimentsymposium.com), November 9, will bring together industry and research leaders and practitioners. The path-breaking program focuses on technologies, solutions, and best practices for extracting business, market, and competitive intelligence from online, social, and enterprise sources.

    Takoma Park, MD (PRWEB) July 14, 2011

    A roster of visionary speakers, from organizations including TripAdvisor, the University of Maryland, Amazon.com, Tata Consultancy Services, Korea-based Saltlux and Germany-based Acrolinx, and Trinity College, Dublin, will present at the November 9, 2011 Sentiment Analysis Symposium, the only event focusing on sentiment analysis of enterprise, online, and social content. The San Francisco event, organized by industry analyst Seth Grimes, targets marketing, finance, social media, and customer-support, and online-commerce executives, strategists, and staff. The symposium will be preceded by a November 8, 2011 half-day Practical Sentiment Analysis tutorial taught by Stanford University Professor Christopher Potts.

    “Businesses are eager to extract and exploit consumer and market sentiment and opinion from the broad array of information sources online and in the enterprise,” said symposium chair Seth Grimes. “The San Francisco event is our third Sentiment Analysis Symposium. Our New York conferences provided much-needed common ground for customer-experience and agency leaders to learn about the technology and solutions from their peers and from industry and research experts and innovators,” according to Grimes, “and November 9, we’re going to do it again, only bigger and even better, extending to reach online commerce and Asian audiences. We’ve lined up a great program, uniting thought leaders and experienced users from organizations that include TripAdvisor, Saltlux, Acrolinx, and Amazon.com as well as research and industry leaders, start-ups, and specialized firms. The November 9, 2011 San Francisco symposium will be a great learning and networking opportunity.”

    Sentiment Analysis Symposium speakers represent diverse backgrounds and companies. They focus on online and social media measurement and analytics -- on business intelligence for enterprise, Web, and social opinion sources -- whether representing an enterprise-software leader or start-up, research firm, an online information provider, an agency, or a consultancy.
