The companion to the Chinwag Insight: Facebook Marketing conference, the Facebook Marketing Bootcamp (Wed, 5th Oct) is a chance to roll up your sleeves and really get stuck in. Don't worry it's almost certainly not as muddy or as energetic as the picture suggests.

This day-long workshop, taking place at Channel 4's offices in London, will explore the practical side of the tools, tactics and best practice of Facebook Marketing.

Find out how to use the tools to achieve that all-important ROI, the Bootcamp is a great place to hone your practical skills and great preparation for the following day's conference.

We're very excited to announce the first Chinwag Insight conference and bootcamp, Chinwag Insight: Facebook Marketing taking place in central London on 5th and 6th Oct, 2011. And for the Chinwag audience, book early and save £100 - on the early-bird rates, too.

Facebook has an audience of over 30m registered users in the UK and 700m worldwide and with a multitude of channels and techniques to target them, what's working, what's not. The conference will look at case studies from Dell, Channel 4 amongst others as well as hearing from Facebook themselves.

Are you interested in expanding your digital business to the Far East? The massive growth in mobile, social networks, gamers and online businesses all across China and South East Asia represent a huge opportunity, but what’s the best way to find out more and harness this potential? 

Good question, glad you asked. It’s something we’ve been thinking about, too. Following the success of our Digital Missions to the US, we’re putting together plans for a trip to two of the key hubs for the region, Singapore and Hong Kong, during the last week of November 2011.

We’d love for you to tell us exactly what you want. Come along to our “Digital Mission Discussion: Asia” on Thursday 29th September from 6pm at the offices of our friends, Pinsent Masons. It’s a chance to find out more about the region and discuss the plans for the trip. 

Chinwag Live returns to London on Wed 5 Oct, 2011 with an evening session that explores what happens When Customer Service Goes Social, sponsored by Conversocial.

The impact of social media is having an increasing impact on the way organisations market themselves and interact with their customers. Conversations previously confined to phone or letter are now taking place publicly on Facebook, twitter and other social media channels.

Taking place right in the middle of National Customer Service Week our expert panel will look into the profound impact social media is having on how corporates interact with their existing and prospective customers. 

I'm pretty sure it happens earlier each year, but maybe it's age. Policemen are all looking younger, too. The annual 'vote for me' fest that is the SXSW Panelpicker has opened its doors.

This year sees over 80 panels submitted from this side of the Atlantic from organisations big and small including the BBC, Iris Worldwide, FutureGov, TechHub, BBC, PeerIndex, mydeco, Somethin' Else, Madgex, Clearleft, The Economist and heaps more.
