> viralcommunication.nl
> International conference on social media marketing and Internet memes
> April 12th + 13th
>
> Locations:
> Piet Zwart Institute, Mauritsstraat 36, 3012 CJ Rotterdam, for the  
> public
> day sessions (11-17 h)

> After "print/pixel" in 2009, viralcommunication.nl is the second
> international conference of our research programme Communication in a
> Digital Age.
>
> One the one hand, advertising and marketing are the true operating
> systems behind the seemingly free "Web 2.0", and the real driving  
> forces
> of social networks like Facebook. On the other, the 'social media'
> paradigm shift may impact their industry just as much as the music
> industry had been hit by the mp3 revolution. Social media marketing  
> and
> viral communication tap into virtually every issue of contemporary  
> media
> work and communication culture. Yet it remains to be seen - and
> discussed during this conference - whether growing concerns over  
> privacy
> and control are changing the trend.
>
> The conference will cover, among others, social networks
> and their impact on advertising and political communication, the Web  
> 2.0
> Suicide Machine and other counter-memes and the viral culture of  
> 4chan and
> imageboards.
>
> Speakers: Bill Wasik (USA, inventor of Flashmobs, senior editor
> Harper's), Douglas Rushkoff (USA, media theoretician), Marc Schwieger
> (Germany, social media specialist, former creative director Scholz &
> Friends), Gordan Savicic (Austria/Rotterdam, developer of the Web 2.0
> Suicide Machine), Thomas Knuewer (Germany, economic journalist and
> blogger for "Indiskretion Ehrensache"), Tim Hwang (USA, co-organizer  
> ROFLCON),
> speakers from Rotterdam-based companies IN10 and 105, and many more.  
> The
> complete programme is available on http://viralcommunication.nl
>
> The conference consists of public sessions at the Piet Zwart Institute
> from 11-17hrs. These can be freely attended by everyone. In addition,
> there will be roundtable evening sessions for media professionals in  
> the
> building of Teldesign. (Attendance of the evening sessions requires
> registration and payment of a participation fee; please contact Leslie
> Robbins <L.J.Drost-Robbins at hro.nl> for more information.)
