Now through September 6th is the time to vote on the panels & presentations for SXSW Interactive 2014. I have submitted a presentation for consideration and would greatly appreciate your support.
My proposed topic is Evolution of the Hashtag. Here is a brief outline of the proposed presentation.
The evolution of the hashtag session will take the audience on a highly visual journey that answers the question that is on everyone’s mind… Why the hashtag?
Looking beyond the # key on your phone, we will explore where the hashtag came from and why it has become a staple of today’s social web.
We will also explore how the hashtag connects traditional media with digital and beyond and the potential to create converged media opportunities and how this can create value for brands.
Then we will move on to explore how brands are capitalizing on hashtags to create earned media opportunities.
Finally we will look into the future and review how the hashtag will impact the future of the newly forming contextual web.
