It’s hard to believe that Social Media Week kicks off in less than two weeks. With dozens of events occurring simultaneously around the world, we wanted to give you a quick preview of what’s in store from our six participating cities. Each host town promises to bring their own culture and flavor to the SMW lineup – so stay tuned to learn more from each of our city organizers right here on the global event blog.

New York

It’s the city that never sleeps – and it seems as though SMW organizers from the Big Apple are no different judging by this jam-packed lineup of events. The agenda is filling up quickly, so be sure to register now to reserve your spot.

Sample of what’s to come: SMW New York will be event to remember with a lineup that includes Networked News Gatherers: Defining the Social Media Editor Role, IDEO + Social Media Week: Humanizing Social Media and MoMA’s Digital Culture NYC: Breaking Down the Walls.

San Francisco

For those of you on the West Coast, SMW San Francisco offers a number of events sure to whet your social media appetite.

Sample of what’s to come: San Franscisco won’t disappoint with events like Geo-Loco! The Future of Geo-location Services and Innovation through Real-time Feedback Loops.

Toronto

Our friends up north are also busy at work filling up the Toronto schedule with the very best in social media content.

Sample of what’s to come: Expect big things from Canada’s biggest city, including No Cheerleaders Allowed: An Honest Conversation about Social Media and How to Raise #Money if You’re Not @BarackObama: Turning Social Buzz into Dollars.

London

London may be a city of great history – but the UK arm of SMW knows how to look ahead to the future as well. Get ready for innovative, thought-provoking sessions that cover the latest trends in social all week long.

Sample of what’s to come: The London conference is hosting a special tweetup for theatre buffs (Twespians) as well as a social media and measurement seminar that will explore some of the hottest tools and technologies helping people monitor social activities.

Berlin

Team Berlin has assembled a broad-ranging lineup of sessions and events for Social Media Week – and though our German is a bit rusty, we know the programming will be nothing short of ausgezeichnet. (That’s “excellent” for all you English-speakers.)

Sample of what’s to come: Berlin is hosting events about How Social Media is Changing Design, as well as The Future of Music and Entertainment.

São Paolo

Representing South America, São Paolo is hard at work putting together a fantastic schedule of events that will include some of the foremost regional leaders in the space. While the São Paolo team puts the finishing touches on their lineup, be sure to follow them on Twitter and check back here for more announcements about their SMW programming.
