3. What makes this event better than all the
other social media conferences out there?
Simple. An exclusive focus on business
Too many events in this area are populated by ‘social media gurus’ (read service providers and
consultants) as speakers, and discuss ‘social media issues’ in the broadest possible terms.
They’re barely relevant to a corporate audience at all.
The Corporate Social Media Summit is different. Why?
• 3 months of research with big companies, like Dell, Starbucks,
Toyota, Intel and PepsiCo have ensured we know exactly what business
needs to know about when it comes to social media use
• Exclusively corporate speakers - with representatives from
big companies like Whole Foods Market, Johnson & Johnson, McDonald’s,
Samsung, Marriott, Siemens and Citi
• A tightly-focused agenda - dealing with the biggest issues facing
your company when it comes to using social media - areas covered include:
• How to establish and progress your internal strategy on social media use
• How to leverage social media to better control your reputation online
(and offset inevitable risk)
• How to create value for your company through social media - and measure whether
you’re achieving it
• An emphasis on practical, measurable strategies for business
• An audience of corporate communicators and marketers
– not consultants and service providers
