Presenting at the Social Media Marketing in Africa conference

I am going to present at the Social Media Marketing in Africa conference tomorrow morning about the legal risks that arise out of social media marketing initiatives. It sounds a little negative but I see this general topic as being both about risks and opportunities - it really depends on how you approach and manage the risks.

The line-up includes a couple interesting speakers like Cerebra's John Beale and Puruma's Ingrid Lotze I usually don't have a chance to spend much time at these conferences but I am hoping to catch a couple of the other presentations after mine. Either way, I am sure you will be able to follow some of the proceedings on Twitter if it interests you.

I presented at the 2010 WTF Media Conference earlier today on the topic of how social media is impacting on traditional legal approaches to challenges arising out of social media use. I spoke for about half an hour and touched on a couple trends and issues I have been thinking about lately. Here are my slides:

One of the benefits of speaking at the conference was an opportunity to meet and chat to Shel Israel. It was a real treat to listen to Shel's thoughts about social media and his work. Definitely a highlight of my trip!

You can pick up highlights from the WTF Conference by taking a look at tweets from the event. The #wtf10 hashtag was a popular hashtag and a good one to start with.
