The Social Media Week is built on the belief that we should
better
understand how technology is providing new inspiration for
how we live,
work and create. In a little over five years Social Media
Week has built
a dynamic platform for communities across the globe to
discuss how
social media and communication technologies are impacting
lives on a
local level. To date 26 cities and over 80,000 people have
participated
in SMW. In 2013 the
SMW Lagos Team had the pleasure (and challenge) of
widening the lens to include for the very first time an
African city –
Lagos, Nigeria.
Social Media Week Lagos is co-produced by Dragon Africa and
AFRIKA21.
The conference's mission is to help people and organizations
connect
through collaboration and the sharing of ideas and
information. SMW
Lagos is guided by the theme “A Connected Africa is the
Future”. Social
Media Week will be running concurrently in other host cities
around the
world including Copenhagen, Miami, Milan, New York, Paris,
Tokyo and
Washington DC. In 2013, SMW Lagos was attended by over 2,000
people and
generated over 31,000 social media impressions.
