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’.

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…

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.

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.
