Los Angeles USA 2007-02-10 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. 170 CA Over one packed day we'll examine the tremendous changes social media is bringing to: Traditional media, Marketing, Venture capital and mergers & acquisitions, Mobile media, Nanomedia 2007-02-09 false http://www.econsm.com/ http://events.boxesandarrows.com/events/170 economics, new media, publishing, social media, social networks, start ups, web 20 Pittsburgh USA 2008-10-20 PodCamp Pittsburgh is a FREE community UnConference, run by and for people who create, enjoy or are interested in learning more about social media - blogs, vlogs, audio podcasts, web video, content networks and new media monetization.
