Six Apart News & Events: August 2009

The Rap On Social Media with MC Hammer at Harvard This Month

We're pleased to announce that Six Apart is a Media Sponsor for the next Gravity Summit Social Media Marketing for Business Conference, Gravity Summit logo.JPGwhich will be held at the Harvard Faculty Club on August 31.  Multiplatinum selling entertainer and Twitter personality MC Hammer is the keynote speaker, promising to educate and entertain as he illustrates the benefits of social media to a massive brand.
 
We are offering members of the Six Apart community a discount to the conference (standard price is $489, Six Apart price is $329), which will also include presentations from social media practitioners of Southwest Airlines, Dunkin Donuts, CNN, Domino's, and the American Red Cross.  The indefatigable Gary Vaynerchuk, of Wine Library TV fame, will also keynote.
 
Can't make it to Harvard on the 31st? That's ok. The summit will be streamed live by CNN.com/Live, the Internet's only multi-stream live video news service, from 9 am Eastern.
 
Gravity Summit events help bridge the gap between the new Social Media Marketing tools and the business community, by educating and informing marketing professionals, small business owners, advertisers, C-Level executives, and others, about the exciting new marketing and communications landscape that is evolving daily.
 
We've attended past Gravity Summits at Stanford University and UC Irvine, and have found that people actually practicing social media inside companies are more willing to speak at an education-oriented conference than at a typical industry conference. The presentation quality is high and authentic, as is the discussion. We recommend the experience.
 
We hope you'll take advantage of this discount, attend the conference, and learn more about social media, or tune in to the live stream at 9 am on the day of - August 31.
