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

Social Media in Business

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…

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.
