Speaking Circuit

Our founder, John Della Volpe, likes to talk.  And thankfully, there's been more than a few groups lately willing to listen to John talk about his groundbreaking study on Millennials (the world's largest market) and all things Web 2.0 -- including its impact on global markets, politics, government and higher education.  If you're interested in having John speak to your conference, board or executive team, let us know at info[at]socialsphere[dot]com.
