When Social Media Week started in 2009 in New York, the conference took place all around the city. Business leaders, designers, marketers, journalists, freelancers, strategists, and anyone interested in the convergence of technology and media had a platform to come together and explore new ideas and trends in the industry.
Today, as the industry and SMW has evolved, we still aim to provide local communities of Social Media Week the opportunity to come together and discuss, debate, and dive into best practices and new trends in media, marketing, and tech.
This year is no different, and we’re thrilled to highlight some of the Independent Events taking place in New York during Social Media Week NYC. These events take place at separate venues and offices, and use their own registration, so plan accordingly if you would like to attend.
