M-Publishing – a must attend event for publishers…

Most media companies are either publishing mobile applications or looking to increase their activity on mobile handsets – so where can you get some insight into the best ways to get mobile successfully?

Looking at the line-up and agenda, M-Publishing on June 1st at RIBA in London will be one of the best ways to find out in a short space of time – which is all most people have at the moment. I’m always impressed at the quality of people speaking and hosting round tables at Camerjam events and this one is no exception (Disclosure – I’m friends with Camerjam founder James Cameron – which came about after seeing his previous events).

So you get a mix of speakers, panels and roundtables – with speakers and hosts from companies including the Evening Standard, Nokia, Admob, Microsoft, Harper Collins, Guardian, FT, Thomson Reuters, and a range of mobile developers and specialists.

Plus I’m hosting one of six roundtables which aim to create a mobile strategy for fictional publisher, aiming to get into specific challenges to develop more insight. Other roundtable hosts include my good friends Jonathan MacDonald and Neil Perkin.

So you should be interested by now – and there’s more good news. James has given me a discount code so you can save on the £292.58 price, and get tickets for just £199 +VAT. Just go to M-Publishing Tickets, and enter the code ‘mobiPUB’.

Don’t forget Social Media in Business this Friday…

The Social Media in Business conference takes place this Friday in London, and you can still save on the already reasonable price of a ticket to the one day event (£161) , by using the discount code MAFIADAN when you order for 15% off.

There’s a great line-up of people, and I’m still hoping to attend (work schedule permitting!). I wrote more about the line-up in a previous post.

Ticket discount for Social Media in Business conference in London

It’s billed as ‘The Ultimate Conference for all things Social Media, but although that may go a bit far, it’s certainly looking like one of the best social media conferences currently on the calendar – and as a blog partner, I’m able to offer you a 15% discount on tickets.

Social Media in Business

Social Media in Business

It’s a one day conference at the Strand Palace Hotel in London on October 23, 2009, and is very much focused on explaining the potency of social media, how to engage with a meaningful response, the insights you need for real business responses, and how to do it. So you’ll get more actionable insights than theoretical discussion, which is particularly relevant at the moment.

Plus there’s a great line-up of people involved, most of whom I either interact and follow online, or have had the please of spending time or working with, including:

Daren Forsyth, Benjamin Ellis, Ged Carroll, Eaon Pritchard, Charlie Osmand, Peter Crosby, Judith De-Cabbit, Joanne Jacobs, Neville Hobson, Will McInnes, Katy Howell, Jamie Riddell and Robin Grant.

A pretty good line-up, and pretty much all people I’d have no hesitation in recommending you track down to read or talk to, so having them all in one place is going to be good. And the standard price for the event is £161, which is pretty cheap for a London conference these days.

But you can save even more on the bargain price:

If you order now, you can use the discount code MAFIADAN to save 15%, which makes it even more cost effective and easier to justify to your boss/colleagues/accountants.

I’ll be there – so if you’re going let me know, as I’d love to chat.

Media140 goes around the world in October

The Media140 conference has expanded following a great event which I attempted to liveblog back in May.

Much as my experience of liveblogging has increased a lot since then, the Media 140 experience now includes ‘around the world in 140 days‘, which will see events in London, Sydney, Bangalore and some locations still to be revealed.

The London event takes place on October 26th, 2009, and early bird tickets are available until the end of September for £135.

It should be an interesting event – there are a number of people speaking with whom I’ve had the pleasure of chatting on several occasions – and they seem to be cramming in even more people to contribute than last time!

There are quite a few events happening as it comes to ‘conference season’, but this definitely looks like one of the more interesting ones worth attending.
