The Digital Movement (TDM) is hosting this year’s ‘Blogout!’ event in Singapore for the second time.
This event will help to make sense of the social media landscape in Singapore and lead in introducing the future of corporate social media. It also celebrates bloggers’ independence and emergent forms of social and web technology to create change all round.
The global blogging community, according to McCann Universal (see http://technorati.com/blogging/state-of-the-blogosphere/), believes that more than 184 million blogs have been started worldwide and Singapore has joined these swelling ranks with local bloggers actively contributing to the blogosphere, in most cases daily, all for the opportunity to change what is important in their lives whether for business or social reasons.
In this year's event, TDM have in store both practical and informational sessions for everyone. The first day is meant for businesses where senior executives and business owners get to learn how social media can work for them. This day is also an important one for any corporate communicator who employs, manages or monitors new media as part of their day-to-day role.
The second day is for anyone and everyone (bloggers and non-bloggers) to participate in a fun-filled day of learning and sharing. There will be a chance as well to get engaged in an open dialogue in the TDM World Café.
"TDM's demonstrated vision is to bring thought leadership in the digital space through its various initiatives, Blogout! is no exception. In our programs, what we strive to build is more than just platforms. Platforms are not meant to be an end in itself but rather a means to an end. Our desire is to see conversations happening, ideas being unleashed and knowledge being shared', said Howie Chang, President of TDM.
