The Social Media Forum - Middle East Print E-mail

I am really looking forward to the social media forum this year, its going to be one of the first social media events to focus on Social Media and not “online” as a whole which is refreshing.  The speaker role is also very impressive, as the market moves forward to embrace a lot more social media applications and with the market hotting up as a whole I think it is pretty much and essential agenda item for any head of marketing in the region?

Why – well Social Media is akin to a revolution in the media industry – Social Media will be the biggest change in the media industry since the invention of the printing press – Not my words – Rupert Murdoch came out with that nugget of information just a while ago.  In terms of who is going and what’s on the agenda you can check the website here

 


Most importantly this is the first event I have seen where the event organiser has actually embraced the core concepts of social media by focusing on listing to the event attendees. The core element of this is that the social media advisory team taken from customers and industry experts will be involved in the creation of the event.  The purpose of the Social Media Advisory Team is to provide independent wisdom and insight to ensure the forum addresses key topics relevant to the regional social media scene.  If you want to be part of that team you can apply on the website.


Check out the speaker list – we will be chairing the event this year so we hope to meet you there !
