About

Social Media Week launched earlier this year in New York City with the aim of identifying and advancing social media practices and policy in the corporate, public and non-profit sectors.

Organized over five days the conference consisted of over 35 events hosted in multiple locations around the city, including events at the New York Times, Nielsen, Razorfish and Wired.

In total, over 2,000 people attended the inaugural event and an additional 5,000 people experienced the events live on this website with many more participating in the backchannel conversations via Twitter and Facebook.

During the first week of February 2010, we aim to build on this success and launch a five day conference simultaneously in multiple cities around the world.

We will be updating this site shortly with information on which cities are participating in addition to New York and will start to release the schedule in the coming weeks.

In the meantime, we want to hear from you.  If you’d like to organize your own events, offer up your space, become a global or city sponsor or volunteer to support the conference, please contact us through our inquiry form.

Testimonials from 2009 partners:

“Here at Razorfish we’re excited to support Social Media Week and help put the spotlight on the New York Social Media scene so that it gets the attention it deserves. In this trying economic environment more companies are turning to social to help them solve critical business problems and reach more customers. Social Media Week furthers that conversation in a very meaningful, tactile and inspirational manner.”

Shiv Singh - VP & Global Social Media Lead, Razorfish

“Social Media Week puts on display the best of New York’s tech and media industry. It’s a week about community and innovation. What could be better?”

Nate Westeheimer - Leader of NY Tech Meetup & Entrepreneur in Residence at Rose Tech Ventures

“New York is at the epicenter of technology, advertising, and media. It’s a city where more people are connected by more people than anywhere I’ve seen. It’s the perfect setting for a week filled with lively discussion around community, technology, and the future — and I can’t think of a better group of people to be having that discussion with.”

Ian Schafer - Founder & CEO, Deep Focus
