The worlds of technology and social media are racing forward at a blistering pace, and innovations from both worlds are increasingly crossing over and permeating our lives. It's this convergence that the producers of Social Media Week are aiming to examine at its events which are taking place this month in eight cities around the world.
If you've never been to or heard of Social Media Week before, the event was founded in 2009 by Toby Daniels, the chief executive of New York City-based strategy firm Crowdcentric. The producers of Social Media Week say this year's event in New York -- which is scheduled for February 17 to 21 -- is expected to attract some 6,000 attendees from all over the world.
This year's theme is called "The Future of Now," and it aims to examine our always-on, always-connected world. Topics will include the sharing economy, the future of social music, crowdfunding, the content-marketing revolution and building products that scale, to name a few.
