Some of our more than 50 speakers, social media doctors and organizers
(follow them all on @ElizaIn140′s Speakers and Panelists Twitter list, and the Twitter list of #smwknd organizers):
Overview: The Continuing Education department of Columbia Journalism School [@columbiajourn] will host its second annual Social Media Weekend with Professor Sree Sreenivasan [@sree] leading a series of workshops, panels and keynotes to help journalists, media professionals and others understand social media better from January 27-29, 2012 (Friday evening through Sunday afternoon). Last year more than 250 people from around the country attended various parts of the weekend, which will again be a fun, interactive, multi-day learning experience filled with new-fangled tools and services. #SMWknd will also be sprinkled with some old-fashioned networking.
In addition to panels and workshops, there will be a continuous group of Social Media Doctors offering social-media makeovers, tips and feedback in one-on-one and small-group sessions. Whether you’re seeking a nuanced assessment of your social media presence or just need someone to explain the basics, they’re here to help. There will also be professional photographers on hand to take headshots that you can use as your profile photos.
Unlike other tech conferences that cost several hundred dollars to attend, the highest price ticket for all three days is $200 but there are several cheaper tiers as well (including $25 for high school, college or graduate students with a current (2011), valid ID card, group rates for companies sending 5 or more participants, and alumni discounts).
