We’re really excited to announce that we’re going to be coming live from Social Media Week London starting Monday, 13th February 2012.

We’ll be hitting up all the great events that are relative to small businesses: we’ll be live-tweeting the events, writing some great articles, snapping some shots so you feel like you’re there, and hopefully taking some videos as well. We’ve got an all-access pass for the whole week, so subscribe to our blog and follow us on Twitter or Facebook to get all the latest updates.

Here’s a sneak at some of the events we’ll be attending:

Mind the Gap: Avoiding a Social Media Skills Crisis
This session will explore the digital industry’s seemingly insatiable appetite for social media skills. Recent research from Altimeter Group shows corporations increased their spend on social media talent, on average, by 50% to £180,000. Speakers include: Rebecca Gloyne (Nokia), Charlie Elise Duff (BraveNewTalent), Niall Cook (Sociagility), chaired by Kathryn Corrick.

Supercharging Your Facebook Marketing hosted by Constant Contact
If you’re like most businesses, you already see the value in connecting with your current and potential customers via social media. But the challenge is figuring out what you actually need to do with social media in order to drive real results for your business or organisation. This seminar is the “what, why, and how” of social campaigns: how to drive repeat business and amplify word of mouth by engaging your happy customers, stay top of mind to make it easy for them to share your message, and measure results.

The Future of Sharing supported by Nokia
It has been well documented that online sharing has been exploding (Facebook making up 52.1% of sharing on the web in 2011, Tumblr and Twitter growing their volume of shares by 1299% and 576% respectively), but what has been harder to predict is what the future holds for sharing, and how that will impact consumers and brands alike. As social platforms evolve, and products are developed to be inherently social, questions abound about whether we will all embrace a world of ubiquitous sharing, or come to reject added noise and clutter. Confirmed speakers include Trevor Johnson, Head of Market Development from Facebook, Global Community Editor Mark Jones from Reuters and Michael McClary from Microsoft UK.

We can’t wait to get there! Also, stay tunned for our full blog launch the same week too!
