Social Media Week conferences take place simultaneously in multiple cities around the world this week.

The aim of each event is to advance uses of social media in the corporate, public and non-profit sectors.

Each event will be hosted on the Social Media Week website, allowing participants from around the world and across multiple cities to take part in the conference.

“Social media has permeated society and is creating a global community that is unprecedented in scope. Social Media Week embraces this phenomenon and is pioneering the way as a global platform for conversation, connectivity and learning. The conference aims to advance the uses of social media in the corporate, public and non-profit sectors, and engage communities on a local and global level.”
Toby Daniels, founder and organizer of Social Media Week
