Call for Speakers: SocComm / The Social Communications Summit - February 10-11 2009 in New York City

Today I am announcing a new event I’m calling SocComm, an event which will explore the state of “Social Communications”, where things are headed in the future and where the money is today and will be tomorrow.

The success of VocalTec’s iPhone in 1995 opened up my eyes to a future where individuals will one day be self empowered to communicate with whomever and whenever they want to, in a world where “Voice” is just an application and not a service.

In 2008 Apple proved it is possible to redefine what was a mature marketplace and introduce innovation and opportunity. And I believe we are only at the beginning of a revolution in the future of communications.

When I think of Social Communications, there are many ways to define this. And I’m looking at the universe of ways - everything from the way some people express themselves in: blogs, YouTube, Flickr, Seesmic and others in their Facebook status messages and their updates on Twitter.

Billions of minutes of Social Communications will be generated in 2009 by people playing in a variety of online games - including: Call of Duty, Guitar Hero World Tour to MMOGs such as EVE Online and those hanging out in Second Life. Over time, billions will become tens of billions, to hundreds of billions and more.

“Presence” is quickly becoming the trigger point for communication. I grew up in an era where the dial-tone on my home phone meant something to me. Today and in the future I believe that Presence is the new Dial-tone and that more and more communication sessions will happen because of presence. The evolution of presence has huge implications for a number of industries, including: advertising, media and telecom.

When I think of presence I also think back to the promise of location based services I first heard about in the late 90s. But rather than have an advertisement push to my mobile phone based on my location, I’m more interested in gaining information from my trusted friends when I’m in a location based on a filter such as my mood. And as advertising models evolve, they too will be effected by social communications.

It turns out that Social Communications is a pretty broad term which could mean many things to many people, and I’m fine with this. What I hope to explore on February 10th and 11th are the pieces of Social Communications that mean the most to my friends and their friends and together help define a new industry.

So I’m putting out this “Call for Speakers” and looking for creative, out-of-the-box thinkers to come forward and pitch me about a topic they are passionate about and would like to speak about. (Practical talks are also welcome.)

What I hope to bring together is a gathering of people with a variety of backgrounds and industries and together explore the future of where things are going and what business models will be used to provide the dollar returns needed to get us there. I expect to bring together people from across the worlds of: Media / Internet / Communications / Entertainment. Something I would call a "MICE" event.

If you are interested in speaking at SocComm, and or would like to suggest a speaker, please contact me ASAP. The deadline for speaking proposals is December 5th but the first to approach me will be the first I consider for the event.

The event website is: http://www.SocComm.com and I would appreciate your help in spreading the word about my new event.

SocComm 2009 will be taking place February 10-11 in New York City. I look forward to your involvement.

Weekends to people mean that they can [url=http://www.ig2t.net ]ig2t[/url]have a two-day good [url=http://www.wowgold4europe.net ]wowgold4europe[/url]rest. For example， people can go [url=http://www.gameusd.org ]gameusd[/url]out to enjoy themselves or get[url=http://www.meinwowgold.com/ ]meinwowgold[/url] together with relatives and friends to talk with each [url=http://www.storeingame.net ]storeingame[/url]other or watch interesting video tapes with the whole [url=http://www.speebie.org ]speebie[/url]family.
Everyone spends weekends [url=http://www.agamegold.org ]agamegold[/url]in his own way. Within two days， some people can relax themselves by[url=http://www.mmofly.org ]mmofly[/url] listening to music，[url=http://www.ogeworld.org ]ogeworld[/url] reading novels， or watching [url=http://www.mmorpgvip.net ]mmorpgvip[/url]films. Others perhaps are more active by playing basketball， wimming or [url=http://www.gamesavor.net ]gamesavor[/url]dancing. Different people have different relaxations.
I often spend weekends [url=http://www.oggsale.net ]oggsale[/url]with my family or my [url=http://www.gamersell.net ]gamersell[/url]friends. Sometimes my parents take me on a visit to their old friends. Sometimes I go to the library to study or borrow some books to gain much[url=http://www.mmovirtex.net ]mmovirtex[/url] knowledge. I also go to see various exhibition to broaden my vision. An excursion to seashore or [url=http://www.rpg-trader.net ]rpg trader[/url]mountain resorts is my favorite way of spending weekends. Weekends are always enjoyable for me.

It was not long [url=http://www.gold4power.com]cheap wow gold [/url]before some one knocked at [url=http://www.gold4power.com]wow gold cheap[/url]the house-door and called, open the door, dear children, your mother is here, and [url=http://www.gold4power.com/]wow gold for sale [/url]has brought something back with her for each of you. But the [url=http://www.itemchannel.com]wow gold[/url]little kids knew that it was the wolf, by the rough voice. We [url=http://www.itemchannel.com/?op=powerleveling]wow power leveling[/url]will not open the door, cried they, you are not our mother.

She has [url=http://www.itemchannel.com]World Of Warcraft Gold [/url]a soft, pleasant voice, but your
voice [url=http://www.gold4power.com]Cheapest Wow Gold[/url] is rough, you [url=http://www.gold4power.com]gold4power.com[/url]are the wolf. Then the wolf went away to a shopkeeper and bought himself a great [url=http://www.gold4power.com]world of warcraft gold sale[/url]lump of chalk, ate this and made his voice soft with it. The he came back, knocked at the [url=http://www.gold4power.com]Cheapest Wow Gold[/url]door of the house, and called, the door, dear children, your mother is here and has brought something back with her for each of you.

A slim, wide-eyed mygamegoldwoman almost human in virbanksfeatures eyed agamegold the pair. Her nose was sharp, but very elegant. She had tbcgold a pale, trade4gamebeautiful face the color of ivory, and veryge for hair she wore a wondrous mane of downy feathers. Her gown fluttered as she walked—on two delicate worldofgolds but still sharply-taloned feet. “Awake, awake you are,” she said with a pvp365 slight frown. “You should rest, rest.” Krasus bowed to her. “I am ezmmorpg grateful for your ighey hospitality, mistress, but I am well enough to continue on9a9z now.” She cocked her head as a bird might, giving the mageltk365 a reproving look. “No, no…too soon, toogold4guild soon. Please, sit.” The duo looked around u4game and discovered that two chairs, made in the same ready4game fashion as the nest, waited behind happygolds them. Malfurion waited for Krasus, who finally nodded and sat.
