Description

When Facebook unveiled Open Graph and made it possible for apps such as Spotify, Netflix or social readers for the Guardian, Independent or Washington Post to automatically share what you’re listening to, watching or reading, it divided opinion. “Frictionless sharing” is a great way to discover new stuff from friends but some think it’s Too Much Information.

Our panel will include senior marketers with real-world experience of using these apps. Aaron Rajan from Unilever will talk about how they use the power of sharing to help provide clean drinking water to the world’s neediest.  

Chris Lawson is the outgoing director of content sales and marketing at Guardian News & Media. Chris will talk from his own perspective about how social media sharing is changing the way people discover content on Facebook and other platforms.

Darren Savage, co-founder of Heretics with a long pedigree of digital projects including Nike+, will give us his thoughts.
