Events: Facebook and #CommsChat

Party LightsNext week is a busy week just a quick heads up on two events I’m involved with.

Social Collective meets Comms Chat aka #SoCol & #CommsChat

CommsChat is a regular online conversation (and what a great idea) set up by  Adam Vincenzini and Emily Cagle. Monday’s conversation features the SoCol gang ahead of The Social Collective event taking place in September. Thanks to the lovely Shannon Boudjema for getting me involved in #SoCol. On Monday night we’re looking forward to giving you a preview of the #MAPmad theme we’re developing for the conference.

Hope to see you between 8 and 9pm on Monday night and all you have to do is get online. More details here.

Facebook for Business

I’ll admit, I’ve been slow in sorting out my Facebook smarts for business, preferring Twitter by far to the [sometimes annoying] social network. But the plain, unavoidable truth, is that Facebook is going to play a bigger and bigger part in our digital marketing futures so I’m rapidly trying to expand my knowledge.

Enter my lovely client Tempero who is hosting Facebook for Business next Thursday. Official Facebook peeps will be there plus advice and tools from some of the UK’s best companies working in this space.

Registration is here.

Behind the scenes at a leading moderation provider

If you enjoyed my post on the legal implications of user generation content (go on, you know you did) then I just wanted to direct you to this video of my client, Dominic Sparkes from Tempero, giving a behind the scenes look at running a moderation company.

I’m at Wiggin LLP‘s offices with my client, Tempero, for their jointly hosted ‘User Generated Content Forum’. The event discusses the legal and practical implications of allowing UGC on your web property.

Wiggin are media law experts and opening the session, then Tempero [Founder Dominic Sparkes] will take over and tell attendees how community moderation can help brands protect their image and meet their legal obligations.

Some good brand names here: M&S, Grazia, Hiscox to name a few.

First up is Wiggin [I didn't catch the name of the speaker, apologies!]

How do you manage liability?
