2/23 - 2/27 - Check Out Social Media Week!

Social Media Week is here! 
February 23, 2015 - February 27, 2015
Check out the schedule of free events here by looking for the nonticketed!

WHY SHOULD I ATTEND?

Social Media Week provides engaging, entertaining, educational, diverse content and experiences that helps us to think differently about human connectivity and our shifting relationship to technology. By showcasing provocative speakers, innovators and thought leaders, we examine how the ways we live, work and create can lead to meaningful change and a more productive life.

The SMW audience is made up of senior marketers, founders, entrepreneurs, influencers & digitally connected consumers across a range of industries including marketing, advertising, communications, media, publishing, technology, arts and entertainment.

Our global theme for 2015 is: Upwardly Mobile: The Rise of the Connected Class, asking the fundamental question: how can all humans achieve more in a connected world?

This February, we’re excited to explore “Upwardly Mobile” throughout the conference, and what this theme represents from today until 2022, when six billion individuals will be connected to each other online. The sessions you won’t want to miss feature leading companies sharing their top strategies and predictions of what’s happening, and what’s to come.

This includes BuzzFeed’s future of sharable storytelling achieved through GIFs, memes, and other cross-cultural media. Code and Theory will inspire brands to create memorable experiences, alongside Wieden + Kennedy’s innovations in creative advertising. Entertainment professionals will look to MTV to draw up the future of programming, while the creativity consultants of the Vimeo Video School teach us how to create and edit amazing content. Perhaps most impacted by mobile’s constant, global climb is news and journalism, and we’ll dive into the future of news and technology from the leaders behind The New York Times and WIRED.

We encourage you to visit our New York Get Involved section to submit events, provide venue space, inquire about sponsorship options, volunteer, and more. Don’t hesitate to reach out to us with any questions regarding the 2015 event. We hope to see you there!

To discuss global sponsorship or partnerships, email sponsorships@socialmediaweek.org.

If you are press, please visit our Press Section, where you can apply for a press pass.

For all other inquiries, please email newyork@socialmediaweek.org.

2/22 - 16th Annual Chinatown Lunar New Year Parade & Festival!

Sunday, February 22, 2015 at 1PM
16th Annual Chinatown Lunar New Year Parade & Festival
Manhattan Chinatown
Begins at Canal St. @ Mott St.
Free
See more info at this link:
http://betterchinatown.com/

Ring in the Year of the Sheep at the 16th Annual Chinatown Lunar New
Year Parade & Festival. According to Chinese astrology, people born
under the sign (if you’re turning a multiple of 12 in the next year,
that’s you) love creativity; whether that translates into a
larger-than-usual turnout remains to be seen. Either way, you can
expect crowds, food vendors, traditional lion and dragon dances,
costumes, floats and multicolored confetti that you’ll be picking from
your hair days later. While you’re in the neighborhood, be sure to eat
some auspicious New Year foods, like noodles for longevity and a whole
fish for abundance.

Happy Chinese New Year!
