Tune in Today To Social Media Week

If you’re able to look on the bright side during these dark times, you’ll see clearly that COVID-19 has brought us closer together. And the backbone of this development has been our beloved social media. Now, Social Media Week – the world’s most important gathering of influential leaders in marketing, entertainment, media, and technology – has launched #SMWONE, a virtual conference series that runs through May 28. Beats & Bytes and Nue are proud to announce that this Wednesday we’re leading an exclusive package of programming focused on how rapid, digital transformation is impacting the music industry.

The good news for our readers is we have free passes to give away to the first 100 people who sign up using this exclusive promo link.

Here’s today’s power-packed schedule:

• • Join me today at 130pm for a live taping of the #5Things podcast as part of #SMWONE virtual conference. Today we’re talking about the reinvention of music. You can sign up for free using this link
  • Fireside chat with Instagram’s Head of Music, Perry Bashkoff
  • Reinventing the DJ Brand in the Age of COVID-19 with DJ Carnage
  • Screw Latency: Playing Music Together Live over the Internet with Charles Yang and Peter Dugan

 

When I think about Social Media Week and reflect on the past 11 years, I get super nostalgic. I distinctly remember the early days of Social Media Week including the very first one. In June of 2009 I moderated and programmed the final panel, “Digital Hip Hop,” with Miss Info, DJ Vlad, CL from Digiwaxx, Amanda Diva, and Chuck Creekmur, the founder of AllHipHop. That was a fun one. Each and every year since, we’ve stayed close. From ringing the closing bells at Nasdaq the day Facebook went public, to all-day music events at the legendary Red Bull space, it’s been a wild ride. I want to salute the Social Media Week team for a really challenging, very successful pivot.

Hope to see you there.
