News abstracts, sessions, soccnx, Speakers, stockholm by Wannes Rams

Do you want to speak at the number one European (and soon US) social conference? I know I want to, let me give you some reasons to submit an abstract…

We have 5 different tracks to make sure everyone can find sessions that fit their interest.
- We are looking for some high technical sessions in our Development and Infrastructure tracks to make sure all geeks (like me) get their subscribed dose.
- In our Case study track we are looking for some real world stories that show the true value of the products
- We are also looking for sessions that can convince CIOs, CEOs, … to actually invest in the products we all love in our Management track
- And last but not least, we would like some of our sponsors to showcase the real value of their products in the Sponsors track
I have been told Stockholm is an amazing city. So if you are tired of the hot weather in the region you live in, join us to experience some real wintertimes! 🙂 You can find an introduction to Stockholm here.
It is a great conference to speak at and of course you can watch all the other great sessions. I have spoken at two Social Connections in the past and it was a great experience.
Join the exclusive VIP reception on Friday evening

So are you up for it yet? Of course we are looking for some experienced speakers, but we are also looking for some hidden gems. People that have an interesting story to tell, but might not realise this yet themselves. so if you haven’t spoken at a conference yet, but you feel like this is your moment, go for it. All sessions will be 30 minutes, so you only really need 20 or so slides, plus a story to tell!

To get an idea of sessions at our past conference, have a look at the Prague agenda and the recorded sessions.

We are expecting your abstracts before 31/8 via this link. We can’t wait to hear from you!

First two Social Connections VII sponsors announced

News soccnx, soccnxvii, sponsors, stockholm by Wannes Rams

If you have ever attended a Social Connections event, you are sure to know how we feel about our sponsors. We love them. And not only because they make the whole event possible but because of the great solutions they provide to the community.

So, what’s better than a sponsor who supports an event? It must be a sponsor that supports two events! Or, in the case of the first sponsors announced for Social Connections VII, make it THREE events in a row!

We are proud to announce our Champagne level sponsor of Social Connections VII and sponsor of our gala reception in Stockholm:
Infoware Solutions

And we are also proud to announce our first Silver level sponsor:
Belsoft

We do have some other sponsors to announce in due time and if you are interested in sponsoring Social Connections VII, please contact us soon as the spaces are filling up quickly! Take a look at our Sponsorship Packages.

And if you are not a sponsor, you can still be part of the event! Register soon or even submit an abstract if you are interested in speaking.

Where, oh where will Social Connections go next…?

Back in September of 2013, a couple of months after Social Connections V in Zurich, we had tentatively announced that we were headed somewhere in the countries of Scandinavia. As it turned out…we had to shift a few things around and we ended up a bit south in Czech Republic instead. Certainly, this turned into quite a superb diversion for us to be in Prague, the Czech were wonderful hosts. And now, it’s time to make good on that promise from almost a year ago and head up north!

If you attended Social Connections VI in Prague, you know we already let the cat out of the bag. So, it’s not a big secret: We are going to Stockholm!

Social Connections VII will be held in the stunning city of Stockholm in Sweden on Thursday 13th and Friday 14th November, 2014.

We will once again have a two day program, with the formal agenda starting with a buffet lunch and social gathering on Thursday 13th November at 12pm, followed by an afternoon of keynote sessions and a gala evening reception. There will also be an introductory session in Swedish during the morning for those that are local.

On Tuesday 14th June, the full-day program will include sessions by international-quality speakers in multiple tracks:

Management
Case Studies
Administration
Development
Sponsors

The event will be held in the modern and welcoming surroundings of the 7A Odenplan conference center, just meters from the metro and within easy reach of the city center and many quality hotels.

As mentioned above, we have organized an optional gala reception that will allow participants to continue the days conversations in a more relaxed atmosphere.

For the first time, we will be charging for tickets to a Social Connections event – primarily to try to restrict no-shows at the event and thus wasted resources and catering. However, we have kept the cost to a nominal amount which is still heavily subsidized by our valuable sponsors.

Space is limited, so register now!

There will also be an opportunity to attend an exclusive Social Connections Masterclass on Wednesday 12th November. We will be announcing details of the speaker(s) and topic very soon.

Interested in speaking? Great! We have also opened abstract submission. We love to have abstracts from first-time speakers, case studies from customers and thought-leading topics from analysts. All Social Business and IBM Connections related abstracts will be considered. Abstracts should be submitted by August 31st, 2014.

We are really excited to be announcing this event and we hope to see you in Sweden!
