About This Event

How do you thrive in an industry that seems to change irrevocably every few days? At paidContent, we chronicle the world of social media on a minute-by-minute basis. But sometimes, in an industry moving so fast, it's useful, fun, and necessary to allow yourself a day away from the everyday to think, learn, and network alongside your fellow industry leaders. So on April 26, ContentNext Media, our parent company, is presenting its first conference, The Economics of Social Media, at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles. Over one packed day, in a series of large and small sessions we're designing to ensure maximum participation, we'll examine the tremendous changes social media is bringing to:

Traditional media
Newspapers and magazines surely aren't what they used to be
Movies, television, music, and games
The entrenched players are having to play catch up
Marketing
You'll never sell anything the same way again
Venture capital and mergers & acquisitions
How deals happen, what deals are coming
Mobile media
How social media is changing the most social of all devices: the mobile phone
Nanomedia
The blogosphere takes center stage

With the acknowledged leaders of this industry (and some surprises), we will discuss the business, financial and economic aspects arising out of the disruption being caused by the rise of social media, emerging business models, and how all this is changing the dynamics of many industries. Watch this space over the next few weeks as we introduce our speakers and panelists. As we fill out that list, we'll also let you know about the social media aspects we're integrating into the conference, including a chance for attendees to tell us which topics we're missing and program a panel to fill it.

In 2005, MySpace broke all the rules. In 2006, YouTube broke whatever rules remained. What's next? At The Economics of Social Media, you'll get some early warning. You'll probably give some early warning, too.
