Social Media Examiner has been working hard to bring you our fifth annual physical conference.

More than 150 of the world’s most respected social media marketing experts will share their strategies with you–and you can meet them face to face.
Imagine chatting with Guy Kawasaki, Mari Smith, Scott Monty, Jay Baer, Ann Handley, Michael Hyatt, Amy Porterfield, Chris Brogan, Mark Schaefer, Michael Stelzner, Kim Garst, Tim Schmoyer, Darren Rowse, Zach King, Pat Flynn, Joel Comm, Shaun McBride–and many, many more.
Your presenters also include top social media marketers from brands such as Dell, BMC Software, the Weather Channel, Alaska Airlines, Citrix, Deloitte, MGM Resorts, Marriott, and SAP. These world-class experts will be sharing their in-the-trenches knowledge and experience from a variety of industries and types of businesses.
You’ll choose from 120+ pitch-free sessions and workshops presented. We’ll cover all of the newest techniques to help you excel on Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Pinterest.
You’ll also discover how to expand into YouTube, live video, blogging and podcasting, and explore the tools you need to dive right in.
Our 90-minute workshops will help you gain hands-on skills and practical knowledge in content creation, business building, agency growth, and more. You’ll walk away with skills that will immediately make you a better marketer!
One of the best parts of Social Media Marketing World is the opportunity to network with 4,000 fellow marketers. We’ve built networking right into the schedule, with dedicated networking times after lunches and keynote sessions, an enormous Networking Plaza where you can connect with experts and peers between sessions, networking walks and runs, and two networking parties, including the Opening Night Networking Party aboard the USS Midway aircraft carrier.
People attending represent large and small companies just like yours, and some attendees are flying in from places like Australia, Brazil, the Netherlands, United Arab Emirates, India, Venezuela, Egypt, Japan, New Zealand, Ireland, Nigeria, Jamaica, Poland, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
