“Syndicate’s speaker list includes many of the leading thinkers and do-ers in media, marketing communications and technology,” said Doc Searls, Syndicate conference chairperson. “Syndication, its technologies and its tools are changing the way we communicate and do business on the Net. This conference will help you understand and stay in front of syndication-driven trends and revenue models for media, publishing, marketing, product/brand management, advertising, public relations and associated industries.”
The Syndicate conference program will discuss the tools and strategies used to allow online media and content to be searched, found, followed and subscribed to all within minutes of when it is published or broadcasted. Tracks include:
The Syndicated Media Environment: Syndicated media can be produced, edited and updated in real time. This track will explore how syndication works, how it's being applied by old and new media companies, how and why different media companies choose to free or lock up their content, what syndicated content search engines are and how they differ from traditional search engines, and how to follow audience and topical trends in real time. Syndicated Company & Product Environments: By subscribing to news feeds, customers can grow in loyalty and help build the company's reputation. This track will discuss how companies of all sizes (from corporate titans like GM to your neighborhood book stores) are syndicating all kinds of content in pursuit of real business goals -- and how companies take advantage of both corporate and individual blogs to relate more closely to their customers. Syndicated Public Relations: PR professionals have the opportunity to use new tools and technologies to achieve a richness of communication that works to everyone’s mutual benefit. This track will demonstrate how leading PR pros are using blogs, podcasting, RSS, and a new crop of search and tracking tools to build relationships with a new group of influencers while finding innovative ways to stay in touch with established target audiences. Syndicated Technologies & Trends: Syndication is a brand new field where new technologies, standards and practices are emerging and evolving constantly. This track will explore new syndication technologies, standards, trends and practices. Subjects covered include: mobile RSS, tagging, structured blogging, wikis, vertical market syndication, attention tracking, social software, IRC, and new areas where hundreds of million dollars of venture money are flowing.
