Register TODAY for Social Media Jungle @ CES 2009

New at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show is the “Social Media Jungle” which is taking place on January 7, 2009 in Las Vegas. This event will address how social media is changing the way we work and live. A full day of program sessions includes state of the industry updates and a candid look at how companies can motivate consumers through social media to drive product sales without increasing costs.

This one day summit has unique format which I have developed based on my prior experience producing events and conferences.

At Social Media Jungle, there are no “speakers” but rather Discussion Leaders. The discussion leaders have been told the event will be a “Powerpoint Free Zone.” These pretty amazing people were not invited to talk about their company, product, service or application, but rather the topic in the area of Social Media which they were the most passionate about. And from the proposals received, I acted as the “editor” and put together what I believe to be a great event.

At Social Media Jungle, our discussion leaders will be presenting their talk as if they were sharing a blog post. And the people in the room will be asked to provide immediate comments to the content being shared which in turn will start a conversation. In other words, our event will be filled with an engaged audience and a group of people who will have a great opportunity to explore a variety of related topics inside of the social media space.

This event costs $295 in advance and $395 on-site. Space is limited and if you are thinking about attending, please take a moment register for the event today by visiting: http://www.CESweb.org/register. Remember to choose the "Social Media Jungle" registration option.

Hope you can join us at the Social Media Jungle @ CES.

Hi Jeff,

This looks awesome! Looks like you've got an amazing line up of speakers - Robert Scoble, Eric Weaver, Chris Brogan, and Jeremiah! Wish I could go! If it were in DC, it'd be a no brainer. Lemme know how it goes!

Thanks for organizing!

LOL,

Caroline
