Social Media Week – 22nd to 26th September 2014

Social Media Week is returning to London in September 2014 in its fifth consecutive year.

This year’s theme is The Future of Now: Always On, Always Connected. Communication technology unites us, relays news equally with opinion, transports us to worldwide events, and shrinks distances between our relationships. We’re tuning into events that we’ve never before been able to access and witnessing other people’s experiences unfold in real-time. Our communications paradigm has shifted, and with it, our interactions within our immediate environments have evolved.

In 2014, Social Media Week will peer deeper at this shift on a global level across all of our cities around the globe. This will provide a framework for the thousands of individuals and organizations around the world to address questions related to the impact and reach of social media and technology.

This year’s events include:
