Central London events venue the QEII Centre has been chosen as the new host venue for Social Media Week London 2018 (#SMWLDN).
Now in its 9th year, Social Media Week London is one of three flagship events forming the worldwide Social Media Week conference network.
The event has grown year-on-year to attract more than 1,000 marketing and technology industry professionals, and in the past has featured international speakers from Google, Facebook, Sky, ITV, Pinterest, National Geographic and BBC Worldwide.
The theme of #SMWLDN 2018 will be ‘Closer’, which will bring a diverse range of perspectives to discuss the intensifying conflict between community and individualisation.
The QEII Centre will host its event 14-16 November 2018 and, as well as featuring two state-of-the-art stages with twice the capacity of the event’s previous venue, there will be an upgraded exhibitor marketplace.
Brian Leddy, managing director of events for Social Media Week, said: “Social Media Week London continues to grow in attendance and partner activations each year. We’re delighted to be moving our conference to the QEII Centre in 2018 as the venue has the capacity to comfortably host our expanding event, along with being able to keep up with our ambitious technical demands due to its state-of-the-art infrastructure. As a result, we are confident that the venue experience for this year’s SMWLDN will be our best yet, and envision this to be a multi-year partnership.”
