If your company hasn’t looked at social media, and how it should be applied, then it could be well worth a day of your time to attend ‘Social Media in Business’. It’s a one day conference in Buckinghamshire on October 23rd, 2008, and it aims to cover a lot of ground.

I’m mentioning it for two reasons: the first is that it’s grown out of the Social Media Mafia unconferences of which I’ve been a part, so I know and can heartily recommend almost all the speakers for the day. The second reason is that I’m able to offer a discount to anyone who reads TheWayoftheWeb! You can save 10% of the price by quoting the discount code ‘smm008′. All I ask is that you email me at thewayoftheweb at googlemail dot com to let me know if you’re buying a ticket, so I can make sure you get the saving (and obviously the best possible treatment on the day!)

There’s lots being covered:

Online Reputation Management: Judith ‘deCabbit’ Lewis

Social is a Business Process: Tobey Moores

Brand Engagement: Eaon Pritchard

Strategizing Communication in a (Social) Networked World: Neville Hobson.

Gordon Gecko is Dead: Joanne Jacobs

Crowd Sourcing: Benjamin Ellis.

A Case Study-led Overview of Social Media: Will McInnes.

Definitely a busy, but worthwhile day. And apparently a three course lunch is included, along with tea and biscuits!
