Social Media Jungle: NYC will
address how social media is changing the way we work and live. A
full day of program sessions includes discussions about social
media from both a personal perspective and business perspective.
Delegates attending Social Media Jungle:Boston will get a candid
look at how companies can motivate consumers through social media
to drive product sales without increasing costs.
The Social Media Jungle events bring
together people with diverse backgrounds. The one thing many of the
delegates have in common is their passion for social media and a
desire to better understand how to leverage social media in their
business and in some cases on a personal basis. Attending delegates
in the past have included executives responsible for: Marketing,
Advertising, PR, Strategy, Operations, as well as company presidents
and CXOs.
This one day summit has unique format which I have developed
based on my 13+ years experience producing events and conferences.
At Social Media Jungle, there are no “speakers” but
rather Discussion Leaders. The discussion leaders have been told the
event will be a “Powerpoint Free Zone.” These pretty
amazing people were not invited to talk about their company,
product, service or application, but rather the topic in the area
of Social Media which they were the most passionate about. And
from the proposals received, I acted as the “editor”
and put together what I believe to be a great event.
At Social Media Jungle, our discussion leaders will be
presenting their talk as if they were sharing a blog post. And the
people in the room will be asked to provide immediate comments to
the content being shared which in turn will start a conversation.
In other words, our event will be filled with an engaged audience
and a group of people who will have a great opportunity to explore
a variety of related topics inside of the social media space.
