Tickets discount on Social Media in Business for TheWayoftheWeb readers

If you’ve seen the line-up for the Social Media in Business event in London on the 21st of May, you’ll probably be keen to attend, and if you use the code at the bottom of this post, the organisers will kindly give you a 15% discount.

Places are limited to around 300 people to see a great line-up including some personal friends of mine, including David Cushman (90:10) , Eaon Pritchard (Geronimo) and David Parfect (Facebook). Plus the likes of Heather Taylor from PayPal, Stewart Townsend from Sun Microsystems, Stuart Bruce from Wolf Star, Lloyd Davies and so many more it’s easier for me to link to the agenda than list them all.

Obviously you can also keep up with the announcements by hooking up with the SMiB presence on Twitter and Facebook.

Advance tickets already have a 25% reduction on the standard price if you order before April 30th, and you can save an extra 15% on top of that by using the following code on the ticket puchase pagesmibweb

Disclosure: As a blog partner, I’ve been kindly offered a free ticket to the event – but as I’m hosting a roundtable at an event just four days later there’s a chance I might not be able to use it. So keep checking the site (You can subscribe via RSS, follow the feed on Twitter, or join up on Facebook), and if I can’t make it, I’ll offer it up in some way…

Monitoring Social Media 09 conference – November 17, 2009

It’s definitely conference season, and there are a few events which stand out amongst the requests for you to leave your desk for a while.

I’ve written previously about the Like Minds conference taking place in Exeter on October 16th, and also the Social Media in Business conference in London on October 23rd. (Sadly I’m unlikely to be able to make Exeter, but I’m hoping to get some of the content to post – I should, however, be at the SMiB event in London).

Add a third event to your list, as Monitoring Social Media ’09 takes place on November 17th, 2009. Funnily enough, between the three events, the speakers and guests cover most of the notable people in Social Media in the UK.

This event looks at the ROI, reputation monitoring, who controls social media data, free vs paid monitoring services, automated vs human sentiment detection, identifying and contacting influencers, the future, plus examples and case studies – it should be quite an in-depth look at the topics.

The host is Luke Brynley-Jones, and I’m not going to run through the list of speakers because at the last count I know about 7 of them well, and they’ve had enough links from me in the past!

Early bird tickets are £95 until the 23rd of October, 2009.

Interestingly, there’s also a bit of co-promotion going on between the organisers of MSM’09, SMiB, and Media140, which has probably helped the three events become more complimentary, rather than running the risk of repeating each over in close succession.

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

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.
