Social Media Week New York

Most people think of the Bay Area as “the” hub of Social Media activity. But, during the week beginning Feb 9th,  New York will be hosting the Social Communications Summit (update: register with discount code “SMC” to save $50), The Shorty Awards, NYC Twestival, Online Community Unconference (update: register with discount code “friendofhoward” to save $25),  Social Media Breakfast, plus O’Reilly’s Tools for Change.

To help people navigate this overload, SMC NYC friend Toby Daniels and a board of other folks in the community created Social Media Week NY. The site features a calendar of the events above, plus additional events being put on, unconference fashion, all around town.

Toby says:

“Much like Internet week, Social Media Week will bring together the New York community and draw attention to the incredible talent, innovation and entrepreneurial endeavor that exists in the city.  Individuals, groups and organizations will be invited to program their own events and schedule their own activities.”

SMC NYC is proud to support this effort that is helping put some focus where it belongs, on the the Media capital of the world

Please follow @socialmediaweekny on Twitter for real-time updates, and we hope to see you in NYC next week.

(If you can’t make it until 2/24, please join Social Media Club NYC for our monthly meeting.)
