Do you know how social media, mobile media and cloud computing will affect you?

Are you a social media junkie?  Do you wake up and check your twitter account?  Not that hooked yet?

Technology influences important aspects of our lives – do you remember a time before the ballpoint pen (1938) or the barcode (1973)?  Did you know the mobile phone arrived in 1947? Understanding what’s changing, why it’s changing, and what might come at us in the future, is key to our success and should be at the top of our to do list.

Social media has gone mainstream, but as you know true revolutions are the result in changes in infrastructure and not just in new inventions.  Is social media a change in infrastructure, or just a change in the way we communicate?

The personal computer did not change the world until the internet arrived with its distribution channel.  Are we still on the World Wide Web or are we back on the Internet?  There are sleeker apps than the browser – the foundation of the World Wide Web – available for online or mobile connections.

WTFmediaconf will explore social media, mobile media and cloud computing and other interesting stuff in the digital world.  It will strip social media to its core so that we are able to understand what it is, how it works and what has worked well.  It will educate and inform, as well as provide access to the online/mobile environment, explore, explain, speculate, debate and talk about things that matter to us.

Shel Israel, our keynote speaker and co-author of Naked Conversations, authored the best seller Twitterville.  He will share his experiences and anecdotes as well as touch on new trends and developments.  He shares a platform with Matt Buckland, Vincent Maher, Justin Spratt, Eran Eyal, Mandy de Waal, Yossi Hasson, SheBeeGee, SnowgooseSA and many others.
