Tickets discount on Social Media in Business for TheWayoftheWeb readers

By

If you’ve seen the line-up for the Social Media in Business event in London on the 21st of May, you’ll probably be keen to attend, and if you use the code at the bottom of this post, the organisers will kindly give you a 15% discount.

Places are limited to around 300 people to see a great line-up including some personal friends of mine, including David Cushman (90:10) , Eaon Pritchard (Geronimo) and David Parfect (Facebook). Plus the likes of Heather Taylor from PayPal, Stewart Townsend from Sun Microsystems, Stuart Bruce from Wolf Star, Lloyd Davies and so many more it’s easier for me to link to the agenda than list them all.

Obviously you can also keep up with the announcements by hooking up with the SMiB presence on Twitter and Facebook.

Advance tickets already have a 25% reduction on the standard price if you order before April 30th, and you can save an extra 15% on top of that by using the following code on the ticket puchase page:  smibweb

Disclosure: As a blog partner, I’ve been kindly offered a free ticket to the event – but as I’m hosting a roundtable at an event just four days later there’s a chance I might not be able to use it. So keep checking the site (You can subscribe via RSS, follow the feed on Twitter, or join up on Facebook), and if I can’t make it, I’ll offer it up in some way…

Ticket discount for Social Media in Business conference in London

By

It’s billed as ‘The Ultimate Conference for all things Social Media’, but although that may go a bit far, it’s certainly looking like one of the best social media conferences currently on the calendar – and as a blog partner, I’m able to offer you a 15% discount on tickets.

It’s a one day conference at the Strand Palace Hotel in London on October 23, 2009, and is very much focused on explaining the potency of social media, how to engage with a meaningful response, the insights you need for real business responses, and how to do it. So you’ll get more actionable insights than theoretical discussion, which is particularly relevant at the moment.

Plus there’s a great line-up of people involved, most of whom I either interact and follow online, or have had the please of spending time or working with, including:

Daren Forsyth, Benjamin Ellis, Ged Carroll, Eaon Pritchard, Charlie Osmand, Peter Crosby, Judith De-Cabbit, Joanne Jacobs, Neville Hobson, Will McInnes, Katy Howell, Jamie Riddell and Robin Grant.

A pretty good line-up, and pretty much all people I’d have no hesitation in recommending you track down to read or talk to, so having them all in one place is going to be good. And the standard price for the event is £161, which is pretty cheap for a London conference these days.

But you can save even more on the bargain price:

If you order now, you can use the discount code MAFIADAN to save 15%, which makes it even more cost effective and easier to justify to your boss/colleagues/accountants.

I’ll be there – so if you’re going let me know, as I’d love to chat.

Media140 goes around the world in October

By

The Media140 conference has expanded following a great event which I attempted to liveblog back in May.

Much as my experience of liveblogging has increased a lot since then, the Media 140 experience now includes ‘around the world in 140 days‘, which will see events in London, Sydney, Bangalore and some locations still to be revealed.

The London event takes place on October 26th, 2009, and early bird tickets are available until the end of September for £135.

It should be an interesting event – there are a number of people speaking with whom I’ve had the pleasure of chatting on several occasions – and they seem to be cramming in even more people to contribute than last time!

There are quite a few events happening as it comes to ‘conference season’, but this definitely looks like one of the more interesting ones worth attending.

Great opportunity for start-ups at the London Twestival

By

The Twestival event is now a global phenomenon, but as any event grows it can be harder and harder for smaller companies to get involved – which is particularly relevant if you’re dealing with the Twitter ecosystem.

Which is why it’s great that Twestival Local London recognise this and are offering a sponsor slot for less – as long as you’re company, social enterprise or organisation with 6 or less employees, you have a Twitter account and you’re able to run a fun activity at the event on September 10th.

The best activity gets the chance to run their activity and engage with up to 1200 Twestivalees and press people for £300.

The deadline is 11pm on Monday, August 31, so submit your Twestival activity now! And hopefully I’ll see you there…

Fire in London’s Soho district breaking on Twitter

By

I’ve just logged onto Twitter to see many of the people I know are sharing messages and pictures of a fire in Dean Street, in the Soho area of London.

A quick look at the BBC and Google News doesn’t seem to show any coverage yet.

But you can see the amount of content on Twitter already by searching for #sohofire or dean street.

I’d normally be at work just around the corner in Golden Square if I wasn’t on holiday this week, so I know the area pretty well and hope everyone is OK and noone is hurt.
