Social media has now truly entered the mainstream and organisations and businesses are em  bracing the very real benefits that platforms such as Twitter, YouTube and blogs provide to inform, listen and converse with audiences old and new. 

The internet has revolutionised the way we all seek and share information and has acted as a catalyst for wide ranging social interaction and potential communication opportunities with individuals, niche audiences and mass markets. In a few short years we!ve seen the rise of social networking, hugely popular user generated sites and bloggers with the influence to make or break brands and reputations. 

Strategic Social Media was the follow on conference to the highly successful Don't Panic Guide To Social Media and featured an all-new line up of expert speakers. The conference was aimed at senior communicators and examined best practice in integrating social media into your communications strategy.  

Delegates heard inspirational case studies on successful online strategies from the public sector, politics, media and some of the hottest communications agencies in the UK.   

The event took place on 14 April 2010 at The Commonwealth Club in London and was our last pure own-branded conference on the subject.
