10 Places You’ll Find Nokia at SMW NYC

Social Media Week is now officially underway. Nokia has been an amazing partner, and they are a big part of what will make your Campus experience great. We’ve shared about the incredible Vine artists coming your way. We’ve talked about the smart Work Pods to keep you productive. But that’s not all they’re doing.

Here are 10 places you need to see Nokia throughout SMW NYC:

  1. The Future of Now: Connecting the Dots Between the Virtual and Real Worlds
    How can we design our devices to integrate technology into our lives in the most seamless ways possible? This will be a stimulating conversation with WIRED and none other than our favorite Nokian, Craig Hepburn.
  2. Mission 31 – First Underwater Expedition That Will Be Entirely Interactive and Why It Matters, Presented by Nokia
    Ocean explorer, documentary film maker and environmental activist, Fabien Cousteau, joins Alex Oberberg from Nokia to present Mission 31, an upcoming 31-day endeavor where Fabien and his crew of aquanauts will be living, working and sharing their experience as they live 20 meters under the sea. The two together will look at the project and why enabling these projects to be interactive is key.
  3. Einstein & The Lumberjack
    The Social Media Experience Director from Nokia helps us understand the best ways to communicate ideas using visuals and proper storytelling — a topic that’s important to us all.
  4. Get Loud: Six Rules of Social Disruption, hosted by Nokia
    When you are trying to raise your voice for what you believe in, how can you be sure that anyone will even be able to hear? Using social channels, learn how to break through the noise on social with your message.
  5. Here’s My App, So What Now?: Getting a Product To Market and Into the Hands of the Public
    It’s all about execution. Once you have built an incredible product, there is a still much that needs to happen to ensure that it is well received. Nokia will be walking us through the process, helping developers get to market.
  6. On! The Future of Now: Making Sense of our Always Connected World (Discussion, book launch and reception)
    Join us for the launch of our first book, On: the Future of Now, written in partnership with Nokia. The collection of essays services, by many people who will be leading sessions at Social Media Week and includes Seth Godin, explores what technology means for us now and in the future. All proceeds from the sale of the book will go to charity: water, so this is a win-win.
  7. Brand New World: The Expanding Role of the Digital CMO
    The role of CMOs is rapidly shifting with the digital age and leaders need to be prepared for these changes. We’ll have Nokia’s Valerie Buckingham share her experience and expertise.
  8. Opening and Closing Night Parties!
    We can’t wait to party with Nokia and artists like JOHNNYSWIM and The White Panda. You don’t have to invite us twice!
  9. The NOW Studio
    Learn from some of the best short-form video makers in the scene in the NOW studio and create your own. And remember to share your creations for a chance to win!
  10. Nokia Work Pods
    When you need a quiet moment to get some work down or make a call, just step into one of these work pods on our ground floor.

Social Media Week starts on tonight with our Official VIP Opening Party! And access is only to our Insider Passholders, but there is still time to get your pass. So, don’t wait!

Welcome Back: The Future of Now & Official Campus at Highline Stages

Social Media Week is built on the belief that we should better understand how technology is compelling us to be always-on and always-connected, and how it is providing new inspiration for how we live, work and create.

The framework for this discussion will be our global theme for 2014: The Future of Now, which will explore the latest ideas, trends, and best practices and how it directly impacts our relationships with and in business, society and culture.

This year, SMW NYC reinvents itself with a new vision for how we can bring people together. Over the course of the week in February, we will gather 10,000 hyper-connected individuals in New York City to discuss how to be MORE present living in our networked age, how to build purpose into our communications, and how to be a more sustainable and connected brand.

INTRODUCING CAMPUS

For the first time we’re introducing a central campus experience, comprised of three main stages, masterclass workshops, co-working and collaboration spaces, lounges, and private meeting rooms. Campus will also debut the Digital Native Brands Marketplace, which will bring together brands and digitally connected consumers; The Future of Now Public Exhibition, which will show us how global brands are shaping our future; and a CMO Summit exclusively for senior marketers focusing on the future of brand communications. All of this in our new Campus will be hosted at Highline Stages.

As part of this new Campus experience, you will forge new relationships with like-minded professionals, gain insight into how to apply systemic changes to your life and work, and deepen your understanding for what the future will look like. We can’t wait to show it to you.

Join us February 17-21 at Highline Stages to see it in action.
