Suddenly it’s all about trying to be nice to bloggers and get them on your side. Do I smell the whiff of fear amongst media and brands? Trailing in the wake on an event I ran recently are two further events on the subject. A seminar on “Blogger Relations” to help PR types to understand engagement with the blogosphere better is being run this Friday, May 25th. There is more detail here and the booking form is here. Meanwhile BIMA is running an event this week on Online PR and social media. If your business is marketing, PR or involves any kind of engagement with opinion formers then I suggest you go to these events which are both pretty affordable and run by people I consider to be experts on the subject.

Technology World 07 is an unusual event in the UK as it brings 80 hand-picked foreign ICT buyers (big fish such as LG, Samsung, Nokia – as well as medium sized companies) to the UK for one-to-one meetings with UK ICT companies. It is an annual event and this year’s focus is on mobile, wireless and broadcasting, ICT applications for the information security sector, and ICT applications for the banking finance and insurance sector. It is highly subsidised by the UK Government (£40 for a day delegate ticket – a total steal) and a great opportunity for British SME’s to network and see what their competitors are up to and engage in a full seminar programme (with talks on entering new markets, growing your business with venture capitalists, protecting your intellectual property, and doing your market research).
