The New Media Diva

It’s steady on the grind here in Trambleland, but I wanted to give a quick heads-up about SOMESSO, a conference on corporate social media happening here in Zurich on 31 October (that’s Halloween for us North Americans. Not sure if the participants will do any trick-or-treating:-)).

It’ll be at the Gottleib Duttweiler Institute in Rüschlikon (ZH)

From the SOMESSO site:

SOMESSO – the Corporate Social Media Conference is a series of recurring events organized throughout large cities in Europe where industry leaders, sales & marketing experts, agency new media specialists, internet marketers, entrepreneurs, venture capitalists and other financiers share their ideas about CORPORATE social media and present their latest projects and discoveries. SOMESSO recognises the importance and enormous potential of Social Media in driving companies’ business values.

The mission of SOMESSO is to bring the above mentioned industry experts together on a frequent basis to let them explore and share the latest developments and strategic shifts that Social Media is causing companies across the globe.

SOMESSO has some well known folks in social media and the corporate world on the speaking roster, including social networking consultant Susan Kish and Julie Meyer, CEO of Aradine Capital.

Here’s a short talk by Julie that I found on YouTube. If you’re an aspiring entrepreneur, she’s got some really good concrete tips for you:

There will also be a roundtable discussion with the SOMESSO panelists at the end of the day. Seating for SOMESSO is extremely limited, so if you’re interested in attending, act quick.

By the way, there’s a link over at Burson-Marsteller Crossmedia where you can get 25 percent off the admission price. (Shhhh.:-)).
