Social Networking World Forum: Shaping the Future of Social Media
On March 9th and 10th I will be attending the Social Networking World Forum in London, a two day conference dedicated to social networking. At the conference representatives from leading social networks will be talking about everything from their revenue models to the future of social networking, global brands and corporations will be presenting case studies about how social media can be used to build a brand, advertisers will discuss their means of using social networking to create revenue streams and content providers will discuss their strategy and development when it comes to approaching social networks. It seems like this conference is going to cover everything, from A to Z, on social networking.
Conference speakers include Anthony Lukom, Managing Director at Myspace UK; Kate Burns, Managing Director and VP at Europe for Bebo & People Networks; Gerrit Mueller, Senior Director of Mobile Products at Connected Life Yahoo! Europe; Mark Watts-Jones, Head of Development and Innovation at Orange UK; Sean Kane, Head of Mobile at Bebo; Henry Clifford-Jones, Director of Media Sales Europe at LinkedIn; and Natalie Johnson, Manager of Social Media Communications at General Motors.
In addition to speakers there will also be an exhibition hall at the conference where different social networks and social networking applications booths will be set up. Exhibitors include BT Tradespace, Lithium, PlayJam, KickApps, Elemental, Ecademy, Reality Digital, FourRoads and Webjam, amongst others.
The Social Networking World Forum is shaping up to be the perfect event for professionals looking to learn more about social networking and the future of social media. The conference aims to address core issues such as monetization, future technologies/services, engaging social groups with brands and how businesses can get the most out of social and business networks.
