When BlogOn first convened in July 2004, social media - blogging, syndication, and social networks - were passing from the hands of the earliest innovators to early market adopters. Over a day and a half, the pioneers of social media described the landspace, debated the pitfalls, and outlined to oportunities of this dynamic and quickly growing market to an eager audience of investors and corporate executives.

The past year has seen explosive growth and rapid adoption of social media. Venture investment is fueling new companies and new applications. Corporations are embracing blogs as the new medium for communications with constituants both inside and outside the company. Syndication technologies are being tapped to deliver a range of services. And social networks are beginning to find a place in mainstream applications.

Amid this flurry of activity, BlogOn Summit 2005 is a checkpoint for the innovators and implementors of social media. Through keynotes, panels, product demonstrations, and one-on-one interviews, this two day Summit maps the future and plots the course for adoption of social media.

BlogOn Summit 2005 is a must-attend event for anyone who is wondering how social media can be affected for business advantage.

Early bird registration is available now for only $995.
