How To: Create an event which has it all > in one day > #SMMUK10

I cannot describe in words how thankful I’m for the opportunity to attend #SMMUK10 in London and most of all taking the opportunity. I flew here from Sweden last night and is going back again tonight.

One day:

15 presentations & 22 presenters/discussions all on social media marketing = #SMMUK10

Now, I have to admit that these many opinions and lecture might be seen as information overload and to many opinions, but it hasn’t been! Instead the even organizers have managed to wrap it all up.

We have heard/seen

  • examples
  • ideas
  • case studies
  • strategies
  • what to do/what not to do
  • crash courses

And best of all, since many of the presenters have listened to each other all day they actually have mentioned each other when they have brought up similar subjects, which have given the listeners a great perspective!

Social media marketing uk 2010 – #SMMUK10 – the first four presenters

We have been listening to five presenters so far and right now we have two more on stage. Here is a short summary of what we have heard so far!

It is impressive how many ideas and thoughts about social media which can be presented in one day and how many people who are working with it. This event is for me a proof that social & digital media is no longer something you can do, it is an industry that you can work in.

First of all key points from all the speakers so far:

Brian Solis – @briansolis – #nicheworks #contextual-networks #interest-graph
Richard Sedley – @richardsedley  - #social-objects #social-proof #reciprocity #storytelling
Mat Morrison – @mediaczar –  “Viral? No. Just “Amplified”. #everyone is contextual
Matt Rhodes & Naomi Paget – viral success & ongoing engagement

I’m attending SMMUK10, are you?

Finally, it’s happening, I’m attending a Social Media Marketing event with internationally recognized speakers. I’ve been following their blogs for years and followed the conferences on YouTube. But now, there is finally an event in Europe were two of the writers, of the largest blogs in the world about social media, will speak. I will attended #SMMUK10 and listen to Chris Brogan and Brian Solis among others.

The event takes place in London on the 17th of June, (I hope to see you there) and over the day we will see 13 presenters speak (talk about heavy schedule!) about all social media marketing. Here are some of the speech topics:

  • What Social Media Marketing Mean for You?
  • The New Era of Relationships: Introducing Niche works
  • How to Make Your Marketing Messages Travel
  • There’s No Such Thing as Viral Marketing: Only Great Content
  • Twitter Marketing for Brands in Action
  • The Psychology of Persuasion: Next Generation Marketing

I’ve created a Twitter-list which follows 11 out of the 13 presenters, so you can get listen to them before the event.

On the website, you can get a sneak peak about what is happening on the event. One of the main topics will be the viral power of the web. But I listen to the taster of Philip Sheldrake who is speaking about the opposite. There is no such thing as viral marketing, only great content!

I hope to see you there!

Ps. This is a link to a great story from Richard Sedley who is speaking about the art of persuation at the event! I recommend it :D
