B2.0 in KK Rocked!

B2.0 part trois was as expected, a well organized event with awesome speakers and a very engaging audience. I really enjoyed interacting with the participants and the hospitality of the organizers was top notch (as usual) as well!

Today social media is everywhere. What started out as an online blogging community in Borneo has now expanded into a huge online social media community of people using tools such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. With that in mind, B2.0 – an annual conference that recognizes such community recently held its third conference to gather influential figures in one location to introduce and educate individuals and businesses on how to adopt and effectively take advantage of social media.

This annual event which started 2 years ago was initiated by BorneoColours.com, Borneo’s largest community portal, at Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Organized by BorneoColours.com in collaboration with M.E Malaysia, the third B2.0 took place on Saturday, 1st December at Wisma Bandaraya from 9am onwards and was attended by 60 professionals.

Prominent speakers such as Jared Lee (Grim Film), @kkcity (Kota Kinabalu’s top tweeter), Thanis Lim (Cookie Monster), Murphy Ng (Sabah Tourism), Jack Baxter George (Everyday Food I Love), Reeda Malik (AnakBrunei), Tai KL (DiGi), Kathleen Lim (Microsoft), Sue Ann Tang (Nuffnang), Moses Wong (Film Production Sabah), Tristan Lee Riven (Team Sprocket) presented and discussed various topics such as are Rise of Social Media, Image Sharing Madness, Social Media For Gamers, Rise of Mobile Applications & Nuffnang X, DiGi In Support Of Social Media, Social media via Windows 8, and YouTube Generation & Social Media Unveiled.

The third B2.0 is proudly presented by Acer Sales & Services Sdn Bhd, the first company to launch the full suite of Windows 8 product with touch capability and DiGi Telecommunications.
