Spread the word: registrations for the Chair Jos Willems / EuroBlog 2007 Conference can begin!
A year ago, EuroBlog 2006 showed that interactive social media technologies – weblogs, podcasts, wikis, real simple syndication, folksomonies, social tagging, personal networks and other species of social software and services - were beginning to impact on communications in many different ways. The 2007 symposium will present insights from EuroBlog 2007, the second pan-European quantitative survey on the usage of social media by communication professionals, draw new theoretical insights and respond to industry feedback by identifying and presenting examples of best practice.
A must for every communication professional
The EuroBlog conference, which will be held on 16 and 17 March of 2007, is to take place during a larger event, starting on the 15th of March already: the Chair Jos Willems, organised by the Communications Management and Journalism departments of Artevelde College in Ghent (Belgium) and named after the man who started the college over 40 years ago. Artevelde College and the European PR Education and Research Association (Euprera) are organising the EuroBlog 2007 Conference together.
If you're interested in social media and the impact they have on the field of communications (be it in pr, marketing communications as well as journalism), the Chair Jos Willems is a must, offering a Dutch programme with a wide range of topnotch speakers as Tom De Bruyne of i-merge, Clo Willaerts of Skynet, Luc Van Braekel and (pdw) as well as many others on Thursday the 15th. The (English spoken) EuroBlog 2007 Conference on 16 and 17 March is also not to be missed, especially considering the fact that the results of the EuroBlog 2007 survey will be made public, that more than twenty speakers from nine countries are expected to present their findings and insights and that the keynote on Friday is deliverd by Neville Hobson, whom you might/should know from crayon and For Immediate Release.
