Announcing Social Media Week’s 2016 Dates

With September’s edition of Social Media Week wrapped up, and November’s global conference quickly approaching, we’re excited to continue our exploration of how human connectivity is being reimagined through technology and innovation.

In 2015, thus far, Social Media Week brought together thousands of leaders in 15+ cities around the globe for more than 1,300 events and conversations to discuss the changing landscape of business, society and culture around the world. Check out the recap of our most recent event in London, Rotterdam, Miami and Sāo Paulo here.

Our next event is November 16-20 where we will visit Chicago, Santiago and Mumbai and while we work with our local teams to put the finishing touches to the program we are also working hard on our plans for 2016.  In the coming weeks we will announce the full lineup of cities where we will be hosting and our 2016 global theme.  For now, here are the dates of next year’s Social Media Week events around the globe:

• February 22-26, 2016
• June 6-10, 2016
• September 12-16, 2016
