Social Media Week is here!

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!

2/17-2/21/14 - Social Media Week is Almost Here! Attend free events/parties, stream content! And try to win a $250 pass to SMW! Volunteer!

Social Media Week is just around the corner - from Monday, February 17th to Friday, February 21st!

Although there are paid passes that range from $250-$1000, did you know there are a handful of events that are free to attend, including Mashable's 3rd Annual SMW Beer Pong Tournament? which, as I recall from last year had food, free drinks, a beer pong tournament and some startup freebies like the Uber rides and Seamless giftcards. 

Another memorable and free event was the "Tweet is Right" where prizes were up for grab by being the first to tweet the price closest without going over in an allotted time period.  There was even one at Likeable Media where speed dating took place with 2 concentric circles rotating with fun social media questions. 

Look at the Social Media Week schedule here and let me know if you're going to any, so we can meet up!

I also remember that many of the presentations were stream-able free, either on their website or app, so check it out.
Social Media Week Mobile App: Get here!
