If you have any questions don’t hesitate to get in touch.

It’s all taking place in one location, right?
Wrong – Social Media Week will take place across Glasgow at multiple locations. Some locations may have more than one event and some locations may be hubs for themed events, but it is distributed all over the city.

Do you have to pay to go to the events?
No, the events are all free. One of the key criteria for an event to be accepted as part of the Social Media Week schedule is that the event is free for people to attend.

I have to pay to put on an event, don’t I?
No you don’t. If you want to put on an event as part of the world’s biggest social media meeting then you can submit your event details through the registration form and, as long as it meets the simple criteria, then you are likely to be accepted onto the schedule.

All the events are conference type speaker events.
No, they are not. Social Media Week will have a range of events taking place from tweet ups to workshops to speaker-led events. We welcome creative ideas from people wanting to put on an event. If a format has never taken place before, we will want it for SMW Glasgow!

I don’t have a venue so I can’t put on an event
Don’t despair. We have some very generous venue sponsors who are making venue space available for those with an interesting event but no place to hold it. If you are stick then let us know, we can probably help.

It’s only for business
Not so. Organisations from all sectors are getting involved. Remember that the main subject of Social Media Week is how social media and mobile communications are changing culture, society and economy, as a whole as well as in specific sectors.

I can’t get involved as I am not part of any of the event organiser companies/sponsor/venue partners
This isn’t a closed shop and we welcome those that want to make the week a success. Lots of people are volunteering their time and services as bloggers, helpers, photographers and live-tweeters.

How do I get involved or register an event?
Simply explore this website You can submit your interest to get involved as a volunteer, blogger, live-twitterer.. here, and register your event here. And you can contact us on glasgow@socialmediaweek.org, on twitter and on Facebook!

Since then, we have been happily surprised by the overwhelming offers of help, collaboration, volunteering, partnerships..thanks a lot to everyone! By the end of this week we aim to get back to all those who submitted the get involved form..please bear in mind that this is an important step, which is helping us to keep track of such a generous response. Please keep on using the form to express your interest. Even if at this stage you’re not clear on exactly how you can help, you’re not committing to anything submitting the form, on the contrary it’s a way to commit us to get back to you in the shortest time possible. If you just want to tell us what you’d like to see at Social Media Week Glasgow (and if you don’t really like forms…;), then please contact us through FB, twitter or our email glasgow@socialmediaweek.org !

We have already been meeting some of you, and we are creating marvellous and innovative ideas together!
For now we can just say thanks for being so enthusiastic, it will make SMW Glasgow a big success, and it will be everyone’s success. A big TA also to the brilliant team at crowdcentric, founder of SMW. The guys there are being extremely helpful in each and every aspect, not least the website, just nicely re-skinned..well done!

Also, we’re delighted to work together and to be able to share our views with the other SMW teams around the world, all fantastic people we’re looking forward to work more and more often in the next few months. We’re planning some ‘social twinnings’ too, to make SMW an even more global and interactive event, with no boundaries whatsoever, be them spatial or mental. SMW is social, open, inclusive.. so please, we won’t say it enough, do get involved!
