Another Social Media Week announced for September

Posted on | July 14, 2010 | No Comments

Hopefully everyone remembers our Social Media Week event in February featuring Ahmir “?uestlove” Thompson with moderator James “The Key Influencer” Andrews. If not, check my recap here.

Welllll the fine folks at Social Media Week are psyched to announce a second conference for 2010 in Bogotá, Buenos Aires, Los Angeles, Mexico City, and Milan during September 20-24. However, even if you don’t live in those cities, you can still watch all the panels and participate in the conversation remotely, which is the beauty of this innovative conference.

If you think those aren’t the best choices for conference expansion, please read what the conference producers have to say:

Bogotá, Buenos Aires, and Mexico City, are not only important as the first Latin American cities to take part in Social Media Week, but also as representives of some of the key digital centers of one of the world’s most rapidly expanding cultural communities. Milan is significant as the tech centerpoint of Italy, a country currently featuring the world’s largest Facebook reach and second largest social networking reach. And, LA, the America’s second largest city, represents along with New York the most important media hub in the US.

Social media week will return to New York in February 2011 and you better believe that SoundCtrl will be throwing a sick event. Stay tuned more info in 2011. In the meantime, check out Social Media Week’s full press release here.
