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.
