How Digital Maps Navigate the Human Condition
Digital is recasting the landscape of maps, a metamorphosis that’s not yet complete. It has rewritten the rules by which maps behave and what they can do. This makes it not just an inflection point in the map category but in the history of human experience. We’ll share the latest development in map technology and show how a collection of digital and non digital inputs – including past history, social media and even mood - when added to basic geographic wayfaring expands the boundaries of human possibility. It’s navigation that enriches the human condition like never before. You may never see a map the same way again.

How We Do It in Brazil
by Willie Taminato, Cristiano Dias and Alexandre Kavinski
You already know that Brazil is one of the fastest-growing economies in the world, that it will host the 2016 Olympics and the 2014 FIFA World Cup, that it has more than 1 mobile phone per capita, is second in the world in number of hours spent online… But what's beyond that?
Brazilian professionals know more about the US than Americans know about Brazil. If you want to score big in Brazil you should understand how the cultural differences reflect in the way Brazilians consume media and relate to each other online, in a country where the top 7 websites answer for more than 70% of web traffic. (compared to 7% in the US if you exclude Facebook)
Our panel will have professionals with expertise in the areas of social media, search marketing, IT and advertising, giving you the inside scoop in one of the best places to do business right now.

101 Social Media Tactics for Nonprofits
by Melanie Mathos and Chad Norman
Co-authors Melanie Mathos and Chad Norman will share a preview of the recently released book 101 Social Media Tactics for Nonprofits, which is available in the SXSW bookstore. This book provides nonprofits 101 ways to engage supporters, share their missions and inspire action using the social web in a how-to, case study-driven format. Nonprofits know they need to start engaging with supporters through social media channels. They identify who they want to reach, set objectives and build a strategy. Many nonprofits get stuck at this point because it is hard to keep up with the ever-evolving world of social media tools and tactics in what has emerged as a vital communication channel. This session will help nonprofits discover new ways of deploying their strategies to meet their social media objectives.

How to Harvest Consumer Intent from the Social Web
by AJ Vaynerchuck, Edward Boches, Jeff Janer, Farrah Bostic and Jolie O'Dell
The social web lets us send out a constant stream of Facebook likes, Twitter tweets, Foursquare check-ins, social commerce reviews, and other recommendations about things we’ve experienced and want to share with our friends. These products, services, businesses, places, movies, music, articles, etc. are expressions of customer and influencer engagement and loyalty that brands have successfully started to leverage to grow their businesses.
But what about the other side of the stream: the trusted referrals and recommendations we receive from our friends, as well as the things we discover on our own, and want to buy, read, visit, or listen to later? In other words: our intent to do something. There is a tremendous and largely untapped opportunity for brands to identify consumers who have overtly expressed interest and to 'harvest their intent' by helping them to bridge the gap between discovery and action with useful, timely and relevant information and offers.

Europe Is Different, so Adapt Your Strategy!
Nowadays, everyone seems to be focused on China as the worlds 'next' market. However, the European Union has a larger combined economy than the US, with the largest markets within it being Germany, France, the UK and Italy. With European social media use dominated by Facebook, you might assume that the an identical platform allows for easy application of US-focused social media marketing approaches to the countries of the EU.
It couldn't be further from the truth - From tonality, to the willingness to share, to the topics of data security and privacy: In terms of being social online, Europe is different from the US. And Europe is different from Europe. Therefore: adapt your measures! If you want to successfully market your brand and products on a pan-European level – this is the session you need to attend!

What the London Riots Taught Us About Social Media
In 1985 London boiled in a summer of unrest known as the Boardwater Farm Riots. Some 26 years later, last summer's London Riots began under much the same circumstances yet grew to be dramatically more destructive. The primary difference between the two events: the present-day existence of social media. As a result the London Riots of 2011 were meticulously documented in millions of Tweets, BBM messages, Internet news mentions, and Facebook posts. The electronic record tells a fascinating tale of social media’s role in the chaos, from its provision of “utilities” for riot planners and onlookers to its ability to steer the event’s emotional tone. Framed in the context of the Arab Spring uprising that came before and the Occupy Movement that would follow, this presentation offers a unique view into one of the most devastating illustrations of social media's power the world has known and the role it plays for revolutionaries, rioters, and rebels alike.
