Dylan Fuller and Simon Baptist have put together a very interesting event in London on November 3. It’s called the Local Social Summit. As the name suggests, it explores the connections between local and social media. There’s also a dose of mobile in there too.
They’ve asked me to come and moderate several panels. Beyond me there will be quite a good group and interesting speakers, among them:
- Praized
- TrustedPlaces
- Yell
- Yelp
- European Directories
- adaffix/Yelix
- Brownbook
- BBC
It’s intended to be a small event and I’m told that it’s pretty close to selling out; there are roughly 21 tickets left. Those interested in attending should sign up here.
