SocComm: Recap and Feedback from the Community
A week ago, on February 10, 2009 I produced SocComm, "The Social Communications Summit" in New York City which brought together about 175 people from across the United States and Canada.
At SocComm, we explored the state of Social Communications, where things are headed in the future and what it means to the world of: Media / Internet / Communications / Entertainment.
Presence was a big part of SocComm. And the future of presence and the state of presence as it effects the Media / Internet / Communications / Entertainment industry was explored and will continue to be explored. Presence was spoken about, not always by name but it was always there. As was other intangible elements that are helping to define the future of communications.
Never in the 13+ years of producing events did I ever have as a diverse group of speakers and audience than the people who spoke and joined us at SocComm. I appreciate everyone who came out and joined us for the event.
From my perspective, SocComm was entertaining. It was fun. And it was raw in the sense I believe this is just the beginning of what happens next in a world where broadband is widely available and people are migrating away from using telephones as a primary communication tool. In a world where communication systems are just software applications, anything becomes possible and those in the communication business who deny this will see themselves become marginalized over the next 5-10 years.
Connect with the people who were at SocComm and I believe you will realize that if you weren't there, that you missed out on something special that has the potential to define for the next generation a space which fits my need of something where "Fear, Greed and Disruption" lives. I have plans to produce a follow up event in June and I'm currently looking for sponsors / exhibitors for this next event.
As far as coverage, the buzz from twitter is documented. We were the #1 search term on Twitter at various times last Tuesday. (Thank you twitter team - you rocked!).

Haha I am one of those people that has tried out every single course, only to be disappointed by stupid e-books that claim to help you make money, when often it is something that I already knew!
