M-Publishing – a must attend event for publishers…

April 21, 2010 By Dan Thornton

Most media companies are either publishing mobile applications or looking to increase their activity on mobile handsets – so where can you get some insight into the best ways to get mobile successfully?

Looking at the line-up and agenda, M-Publishing on June 1st at RIBA in London will be one of the best ways to find out in a short space of time – which is all most people have at the moment. I’m always impressed at the quality of people speaking and hosting round tables at Camerjam events and this one is no exception (Disclosure – I’m friends with Camerjam founder James Cameron – which came about after seeing his previous events).

So you get a mix of speakers, panels and roundtables – with speakers and hosts from companies including the Evening Standard, Nokia, Admob, Microsoft, Harper Collins, Guardian, FT, Thomson Reuters, and a range of mobile developers and specialists.

Plus I’m hosting one of six roundtables which aim to create a mobile strategy for fictional publisher, aiming to get into specific challenges to develop more insight. Other roundtable hosts include my good friends Jonathan MacDonald and Neil Perkin.

So you should be interested by now – and there’s more good news. James has given me a discount code so you can save on the £292.58 price, and get tickets for just £199 +VAT. Just go to M-Publishing Tickets, and enter the code ‘mobiPUB’.

Tickets discount on Social Media in Business for TheWayoftheWeb readers

April 9, 2010 By Dan Thornton

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…

Ticket discount for Social Media in Business conference in London

September 25, 2009 By Dan Thornton

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.

There are a number of people using Twitter to promote special offers and competitions, so it seemed a bit silly not to mention that Absolute Radio is currently offering a range of tickets throughout the summer via Twitter.

(I’m Digital Marketing Manager at Absolute Radio – which includes managing the Twitter account!)

At the moment, tickets are up for grabs for the Blur re-union gigs in Hyde Park in London on Thursday, July 2nd, so check out @absoluteradio if you fancy entering by Retweeting the specified message.
