Gravity Summit 2010

By Yosef Solomon on Feb 22, 2010

Gravity Summit 2010 is finally here and will be taking place today at UCLA. Focused on “bridging the gap between Social Media Marketing tools and the business community, Gravity Summit provides business owners, marketing professionals and executives “actionable knowledge that will have an impact on their marketing objectives.” Sponsored by Mazda, Mashable, LA Clippers and a handful of other companies, the Gravity Summit will feature talks from executives and social media veterans.

In recent years we’ve seen a growth in Social Media and new technology events. The two go hand in hand and are constantly changing. It’s important to have these events because they allow us to acknowledge the intricacies of the web experience on a daily basis. In the past year I’ve attended a number of talks, conferences and meetups that have helped me better understand technology and social media. I feel like everyone in this industry has a different experience when approaching these mediums and it’s insightful to hear what they have to say.

The Gravity Summit promises to present useful and tangible “marketing objectives” that each of us can utilize in our line of work. Although that may sound a bit vague, I believe that by providing a variety of tried and true techniques, one will be able to decipher what will work for them. Often times following blogs or watching videos won’t give us the same insight as hearing it directly from the professionals.

In the near future, I plan on holding my own summit/conference, where I can touch on topics that I feel are important and near to me. Although I’m not an expert in my specific field, I believe that I will be able to spotlight areas in which I’m proficient and skilled in. I will definitely keep you updated on my future plans and please expect to see some more shameless self-promotion on this blog.
