The first Social Media Week Johannesburg (22 – 26 September) is going to be the highlight for every digital marketer in Johannesburg, if not South Africa and the rest of Africa.
It’s an opportunity to learn about developing trends in social media, interact with thought leaders in the industry, and to network with industry peers. Regardless if you are a social media wannabee working from home, or an established social media manager at an agency, Social Media Week Johannesburg will be an essential conference to attend to upskill yourself. If you’re passionate about your career, and your own personal growth, then you will find Social Media Week Johannesburg informative, educational and, most certainly entertaining.
There are 2 ticket options available online through socialmediaweek.org/johannesburg.
One Day Pass: R350
Gives you full access to all SMW events for a specific day.
One Week Pass: R750
Gives you full access to all SMW events for the entire week.
I think it is kind of obvious that the one week pass offers better value for money, and there are so many once-off opportunities available that you wouldn’t want to suffer from social media FOMO. I plan to attend virtually all of the events, either as a refresher course for my social media clients, or just to keep abreast of the latest trends before they become public knowledge. Social media marketing is a competitive industry, Social Media Week Johannesburg will keep you ahead of the competition.
You can buy your tickets online, or you can win one of four (4) One Week Passes from ChamberlainBell.com.
To win a One Week Pass for yourself, or your company:
1: Simply leave a reply below motivating why you want to attend Social Media Week Johannesburg.
2: Retweet this post and follow us @ChamberlainBizz and follow ChamberlainBell on Facebook.
It’s that simple.
Winners will be confirmed on Sunday, 21 September 2012, at 12PM.
