This is the second in a series of posts zoning in on the various cities of Social Media Week September 2010 and taking a look at the exciting things going on there.
Following up on the release of its schedule yesterday, here are some updates what’s happening during Social Media Week in Bogotá this September 20 to 24.
The week’s agenda for Social Media Week Bogotá will be based on three main themes, split up over the days of the week:
On Monday and Tuesday, events will focus on the “Backend of Social Media”, featuring discussions that will go in-depth on technical content, operation behind networks, deployments, and more. Workshops and conferences will discuss processes and methodologies to develop behind-the-curtain social media strategies for companies.
“Social Media in Colombian businesses” will be the focus of Wednesday and Thursday. Conversations will hit upon issues aimed at policy makers and personnel involved in implementing social media strategies in business, including what has been done already, what are the trends, and where will things go. Included will be a workshop to learn how to design a strategy that fits your needs. The events will take place in selected auditoriums around Bogotá on Wednesday and at HUBBog on Thursday.
On Friday, the week’s final day, the focus will be the media featuring panels with the participation of many of the most important media leaders of the Columbia. One panel will cover what has been learned from past political campaigns, and the event will be closed with a panel of the main media outlets of Colombia, on their state today and their vision for evolution with social media. Columbian news leader El Tiempo, one of the global media partners of Social Media Week, will participate in this panel and provide facilities for events on this last day of Social Media Week.
