Update:  See who's registered to attend the Summit!

On Saturday, March 5, 2011, from 8:30 AM – 3:30 PM, the Department of Media Studies at the University of San Francisco is hosting a one-day conference and program of events titled, “San Francisco Interactive Media” Summit 2011 (SF-IM).

The theme of SF-IM is using social media and other emerging technologies for the public good. Sessions will feature opportunities for discussion and hands-on learning. Importantly, the focus of SF-IM is on peer-to-peer learning and conversation, not tech-talk and PowerPoint’s. SF-IM’s programming is ideal for anyone interested the public possibilities of the emerging media technologies, and is suitable for a wide range of abilities, from beginner to advanced.

Scheduled events includes:
  • Fundamentals of dynamic publishing platforms, mobile-social media, and visual design for the web
  • Best Practices for journalism, public relations and government
  • Demonstration and discussion of new tools and techniques.

In sum, attendees of all levels and abilities will leave the SF-IM with a stronger sense of “how to use Web 2.0 and social media in their organization for public purposes.” SF-IM begins with Registration at 8:30 AM in the lobby outside Cowell Hall Room 106 on the main USF campus.

We’re featuring presenters like Susan Piper, who will share her thoughts on creating a communications infrastructure for the City of Oakland that incorporates social media, and Kwan Booth who will talk about how the Oakland Local website uses social media to make journalism more of a two-way dialogue. We’ll also hear from Ana-Marie Jones, who will discuss how her organization uses social media as it trains and supports nonprofits and their special needs clients in disaster preparedness, response and recovery activities, and Jonathan Bernstein of “Not In Our Schools,” a peer-to-peer learning program that uses social media to provide students and teachers with real tools to counter hate and create respectful environments on their campuses.
