Early Bird Sales Now Open: Economics of Social Media Conference, April 29, Skirball Center, LA

Ticket sales now open for our second Economics of Social Media (EconSM) full-day conference, being held on April 29th at the Skirball Center in Los Angeles. This year we're advancing the conversation we began at EconSm '07 by investigating the evolving economics of social media, looking at the survivors and up-and-comers, and at how deals and business models are being affected by enabling technologies and the creative process.

The preliminary program draft is posted here. Some of the speakers confirmed include:

» Jeff Weiner, EVP, Yahoo


» Frank Cooper, VP-Marketing, Pepsi-Cola North America


» Jeff Price, President, SI Digital


» Geoff Yang, Founding Partner, Redpoint Ventures
