Announcing the first Southern Social Networking Summit (#ssns)

(Columbia, SC)—The Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance (SIBA) is calling “…All Activists, Artists, Booksellers, Bloggers, Chefs, Crafters, Dancers, Designers, Educators, Festival Organizers, Government Workers, Human Resources, Internet Engineers, Jugglers, Librarians, Marketers, Non-Profit Executives, Publishers, Retailers, Singers, Social Networkers, Twitterholics, Videographers, Writers, Wine Guys, & Zookeepers” to the first ever

Southern Social Networking Summit (#ssns)

Conquering the world one hashtag at a time!

#SSNS is a meeting on the application of on-line social networking to the arts, humanities & business being held January 6 and 7, 2010 in Greenville, South Carolina at the Hyatt Regency. Detailed information about the program and schedule can be found at http://www.sibaweb.com/ssns.

The Summit is a collaborative effort between SIBA and other arts organizations, nonprofits, bookstores and marketing entities with the stated goal of using social media more cooperatively and effectively to increase audiences and constituencies, and better respond to the changing environment and trends in the communities they serve. Among the questions being asked and addressed:  

How does an organization make time for social media networking, and which are the best fit for the organization’s mission?  What marketing partnerships are available and how does an organization incorporate them into social media marketing? What new trends are on the horizon, and how do you take advantage of new trends when you have small staffs (and smaller budgets)? How do we move the conversation from insiders to outsiders?

The Summit program includes both presentations and extensive “brainstorming” sessions, and features several high-profile speakers who have gained reputations for their effective use of social media: Gary Vaynerchuck, aka “The Wine Guy,” who leveraged social media tools such as Twitter and Facebook to promote Wine Library TV, his video blog about wine, into a viewership of over 80,000 per day. David Allen, a leading authority on personal and organizational productivity and author of Getting Things Done, which Time Magazine labeled as "the defining self-help business book of the decade." Dan Zarrella, an expert on viral marketing and regular contributor to Wired, The Wall Street Journal, Mashable and TechCrunch, and author of The Social Media Marketing Book. 

Registration for the Southern Social Media Summit is free for attendees who stay at the Hyatt Regency in Greenville, and $135 for commuters.  But space is limited to the first 150 registrants. The event is co-sponsored by:

Fiction Addiction (Greenville, SC)
HarperStudio (New York, NY)
Hyatt Regency (Greenville, SC)
The Open Book (Greenville, SC)
The South Carolina Book Festival (Columbia, SC)
The Social Media Club of Greenville (Greenville, SC)
