Social Media Week London – Latest List of Events
When we started this shenanigans, we estimated there’d be a maximum of 70 events with about 5,000 people attending. And we’d probably had a drink and were feeling ambitious at the time.
Yesterday, we breezed past the 5,000 RSVP mark for registrations at events across the week and the number of events (and believe us, it’s tricky keeping track) passed the 80 mark. It’s going to be a busy week.
We’ve had some feedback on Twitter from people paging through the schedule and finding events are already full, so one of our volunteers (thanks Anne) went through the whole list to find all of the events that still have space available.
Peruse the list below and click on the links for further info. If you’re going to come along, please do RSVP to give the event organisers an idea on numbers. Any questions, contact us via @smwldn.
