About Crowdcentric
Crowdcentric, which owns and operates Social Media Week is a small company with a big mission.

Our biggest project, Social Media Week, is a global conference which brings people, brands and organizations together to explore how we connect and communicate as a society.

In addition to running Social Media Week, we’re also figuring out how to solve complex social and environmental problems through a joint venture initiative with social production firm Mutopo. So far we’re taking on the issue of paper cup waste through The BetaCup and the global problem of traffic congestion through our soon to launch initiative BetaTraffic.
