At Social Media Jungle, there are no “speakers” but rather Discussion Leaders. The discussion leaders have been told the event will be a “Powerpoint Free Zone.” These pretty amazing people were not invited to talk about their company, product, service or application, but rather the topic in the area of Social Media which they were the most passionate about. And from the proposals received, I acted as the “editor” and put together what I believe to be a great event.

At Social Media Jungle, our discussion leaders will be presenting their talk as if they were sharing a blog post. And the people in the room will be asked to provide immediate comments to the content being shared which in turn will start a conversation. In other words, our event will be filled with an engaged audience and a group of people who will have a great opportunity to explore a variety of related topics inside of the social media space.
