Limited Capacity seats available
Understanding Social Graph Optimization
With so much choice in how consumers tap into to their social graph, how do media and brands reach, connect and influence these networks at scale?
As consumers get entrenched in an increasing number of general and niche social networks, the challenge for organisations to both reach and influence them is getting tougher. This wealth of options is happening both within social networks like Facebook, and externally on email, IM and others.
As these channels are reaching ubiquity amongst connected users and are increasingly integrated with 'Connects' from Facebook and Google, the business world has got to wrap its head around how to engage, interact and influence this audience.
But how? What techniques will work without irritating users and staff trying to scale their efforts to maximise the audience? And what does the future hold? Is a world where all these tools are connected a marketing panacea?
Join us as we explore these challenges, come armed with questions, opinions and get involved in the debate.

Chinwag Live - Show Me the Money: Where's the ROI in Social Media?
Chinwag Live: Show me the money - where's the ROI in social media?
With social media marketing now becoming mainstream, we see the move beyond the hype and experimentation to best practices and consolidated learning. And perhaps more importantly businesses are now asking the question - where is the money is in social media?
The growth and evolution of social media tools allows us to measure many elements of behaviour, emotions and financial impact, and even to a near real-time degree. With this measurement and tracking that is supposedly social media's strength, can it truly point us in the direction of how to make money using social media?
As businesses review their rationale behind measuring social media we ask - what measurements are most productive in terms of getting social media strategy to impact the bottom line? Is return on engagement an important consideration when considering ROI and over what timeframe? Does social media marketing require a longer-term view?
What tools, or consequently what elements of social media should we be looking at to optimise our marketing spend? Are they pointing the way to the most cost effective marketing channels? Or do we just prefer the fact that we can measure our twitter followers, blog readers and content hits, regardless of its true effectiveness?
And perhaps lastly we should ask - Is effective measurement critical to effective marketing strategy?
Join us as we explore these challenges, come armed with questions, opinions and get involved in the debate.

Social Media in Enterprises - the Elephant in the Ecosystem
The aim of this event is to look at the (often unmentioned) Enterprise "Elephant in the Ecosystem" from many angles, so we may get a better view of how Social Media can be used by:

- Enterprises: How can use it internally to re-engineer themselves,
- Supply and Value Chains: How does it restructure a B2B value chain, which can be complex and global
- How to create sustainable business value, not an easy to replicate one-off.

Also, we want to touch on the Hard Stuff that is brushed under the carpet, for example:
- how to integrate into existing heritage systems,
- how to handle security issues,
- whether a flat social network structure can work in a firm.

And that's never mind calculating the potential Return on Investment.

There is a charge for this event.Ticket prices £10.

SMW Be2camp Cheesy tweet-up
With several Be2camp people participating in the Emap's Construction and social media training day at America Square, it seemed like an opportunity to try and organise a Tweet-up to catch the training day audience, add some who couldn't attend and maybe tempt a few people to find out more about Be2camp and what we do.
This is a great opportunity to meet people from the world of architecture, engineering, construction and property, some expert in using Web 2.0, others sceptical about it or just starting out. Whether you're a Twitter-holic or studiously abstain, this is your chance to meet people who are using Web 2.0 to transform how they communicate with their fellow professionals.

A Conversation on Social Recruitment
Social recruiting is fast becoming an essential activity, yet the impact achievable is still unknown to many. Attendees will hear from both social media and recruitment experts about the capabilities and potential of the medium, as well as learn how it has already been successfully deployed. Using case studies to outline social recruiting in practice, this event will provide insight, information and inspiration to those looking to engage with social media channels for recruitment in 2010 and beyond.
Following this event, the same venue will be hosting the Recruitment Tweetup and BraveNewTalent will be sponsoring the drinks. It is recommended that people interested in staying on to socialise with others in the industry register here as well.
BraveNewTalent.com uses social networks to connect talent to employers. Social media is not simply a trend - it is a fundamental evolution in the how people online communicate.
As the social media outreach partner for One Young World (www.oneyoungworld.com) BraveNewTalent.com has been actively recruiting young leaders from over 140 countries to attend the inaugural summit in London on February 8th - 12th 2010. See ww.OneYoungWorld.com/BNT for more information.

Radio 4 Tweetup
Feedback Survey
Next week is social media week, an international festival of social media activities - conferences, workshops and meetups in six major cities, intended 'to advance uses of social media in the corporate, public and non-profit sectors.' We've decided to chip into the programme of activity in London with a Radio 4 tweetup (that's a Twitter meetup, an informal gathering organised on Twitter) on Thursday 4 February at 1930 in the vicinity of Broadcasting House, Radio 4's central London home. It's open to all Radio 4 listeners and there's no programme of activity, no speakers and no turns. There's also no charge. It's not an official event, just an opportunity for Radio 4 listeners to gather in one place and take refreshment. And, of course, you don't need to be on Twitter. I'm leaving the venue open for the time being because I'm uncertain as to how many people will come but it might take place at the nearby BBC Club or in a friendly pub.
Here's how to join in:
First of all, make sure you're following @radio4blog on Twitter, then reply, telling the world you're going to come, using the hashtag #R4tweetup. I'll publish details of the tweetup venue here and on Twitter when it's decided. Please enthusiastically retweet so that we get a good number of attendees! If you're not on Twitter, email me at steve.bowbrick@bbc.co.uk.
