Social Media Ultimate Smackdown in Hogtown
SMUSH is an ambient social networking game that you play on your iPhone, Blackberry or other web enabled device as you attend Social Media Week events and chat with other attendees. Social media startups (teams) compete for venture capital (points) by recruiting employees and circulating ideas. You can build your company wisely by meeting and "befriending" the right people. Alternatively, you can just blatantly sabotage the competition, which is the more proven road to success. Either way, you'll be making some serious social media magic happen. A company that specializes in recreating Star Trek: TNG episode over Twitter? Yes please. Facebook for dogs? Goldmine. Plus, did I mention there were prizes from Crumpler (crumpler.ca)? Sounds good to me. To sign up and play, mosey on over to smush.ca

Why You Need To Wiki As Part Of Your Social Media Initiative And How
Limited Capacity seats available

Wikis are an integral part of social media but it is often a more involved process to set one up, compared to simpler tools like blogs. However, the benefits of having a wiki can far outweigh the costs of implementation. An effective social media strategy incorporating wikis can lower the cost of product support, enhance customer loyalty, and streamline partner relationships especially in areas such as training and collaboration.

Tweeting Haiti: Understanding the Issues in Real-Time
Limited Capacity seats available

As the world tried to understand and help Haiti in the aftermath of its 7.0 earthquake, social media became a tool of mobilization and misinformation. A plane of medical supplies diverted from the Port-au-Prince was allowed to land after the US Air Force was inundated by complaints via twitter. Yet retweets of a hoax that American Airlines had offered to fly doctors down to Haiti for free took days to be discounted. How can we, from NGOs to people concerned, navigate such a fast-moving stream of information?

Reason to Believe. Reason to Belong a
Limited Capacity seats available

Speech by Tony Chapman followed by panel discussion. Marketers - Welcome to your Perfect Storm. Your brands are being commoditized, media fragmentized, and the trade and your customers disenfranchised. No longer can you hope to shout your way into your consumers head, heart and hands with media and trade dollars; people increasingly turn to their social networks to form their opinions, form their allegiances, and make their purchase decisions. Tony Chapman, Founder and CEO of Capital C, is a sought-after presenter and frequent contributor to the mainstream press on subjects that include brands, consumerism and strategy. Tony will spend twenty minutes sharing his thoughts on how to navigate the perfect storm. He will look at the role innovation and social capital must play in establishing your Reason to Believe with your consumer, and your Reason for Belonging in their social network. He will then join a panel that includes Jesse Hirsh and Christopher Loudon to discuss and debate this topic in what promises to be a highly engaging, content-rich 90 minutes. Audience involvement will be welcomed and encouraged.

PowerPoint Karaoke
To close out Social Media Week Toronto, we are going to be hosting a rocking session of PowerPoint Karaoke. The rules of Powerpoint Karaoke are simple. A set of presenters and local social media luminaries will be asked to play the role of an earnest expert speaker on topics such as "How to succeed at social media without really trying", or "What to do when someone on the internet is wrong", or "My sensational life as a japanese tentacle porn star" etc.* Each presenter will be given exactly 5 minutes to present and a set of slides they have never seen before. Each presentation deck will be stuffed with facinating imagery, emphatic infographics and genuine business-speak bullet points drawn from real powerpoint decks we've found on the internet. Naturaly, in the hands of a less-skilled presenter, some of this totally random content might seem somewhat "tangential" to the topic at hand. But as you will see, these challenges will be no problem to our powerpoint rockstars. At the end of the evening. The audience or jury will be asked to vote for the winning presentations based on humour, style points, or general awesomeness. There may be fabulous prizes.** Event music to be provided by DJ Mike Mizzi. Twitter hashtag: #PPTKTO
