OMMA Social in New York

I’ll be spending the day in New York today to attend the OMMA Social Conference. The event has a great list of speakers and I’m guessing there will be some great attendees as well. I’ll be live blogging some of the sessions. There will be discussions about the state of social media, how to use social media as a tool and how to monetize social media effectively.

The event is only a one day event and as such I’ll be heading back to D.C. this evening. Hopefully I get some good content since I decided to wake up at 4 A.M. to head up to the city this morning! If you are at the event please come say hello. While not as big as the recent Graphing Social Patterns East event, this looks pretty great.

One of the more interesting presentations comes from Peter Hobolt Jensen who is the Vice President of online communications at Lego. He will be discussing how the company has leveraged social media to expand their reach and valuable lessons learned. I hope to see you here. If you can’t make it, check in to this site to learn more about what’s going on!
