Communities are at the core of the human experience and our design practice, yet we don’t always put the same level of active effort in designing our communities as we do in designing the products and services we make. We live and work embedded in networks of other people and systems. Communities are defined by shared norms and culture, and have a massive impact on how we live, think and act. Why leave this up to chance? We are all stewards of the many communities we engage in every day, and we need to take an active role in mindfully crafting these communities. So, how do we craft better communities? What does better even mean? This talk is a reflection on my experiences building and crafting communities at a variety of scales from the personal to the global. I will discuss my successes and failures, my fears and delights, as well as lessons learned along the way. We are nothing without the communities we inhabit, so let’s make them great together.

Predicting the social culture of our future – The Neurobiology of social networking
What is expected of tomorrow’s social networks to address the needs of a more and more complex society? Where is Facebook falling short? What can Neurobiology tell us about the wellbeing of our digital culture?
In an entertaining and inspiring talk, the speakers will use an Australian model of Neurobiology to answer these questions.
The story begins where we will explore the different personas present in our minds. We find out that different platforms such as Tinder, Facebook and Snapchat are just manifestations of these personas and our deepest longings. Then, we will enter the secret side of our brains and explore what Whisper and Lord of the Rings have in common. The speakers will then reveal the six intelligence centers of the human brain in order to classify today’s social networks and predict what is needed to build more sustainable digital platforms. In an inspiring crescendo, the speakers will make bold predictions impacting our social culture as well as our digital future.
Entrepreneurs, listen up! The speakers will predict what social platforms need to emerge to satisfy the social cognitive needs of the human brain. Using the insights of focus groups with digital natives and drawing from a wealth of research and Neurobiology, the speakers will explore the underlying motives of a digital society. This will include an outlook on Google Glass as well as an exploration into the depth of our psychological being.
Social Media in Business - Best Practice for EntrepreneursAmar Trivedi
On Thursday 5 April, 2012, I was invited by the New Zealand Centre for Social Innovation (NZCSI) as a Social Media - Expert Witness to present to the Class of 2012 at Social Entrepreneurs School (SES) at Ko Awatea Centre, Auckland.
I had the honour of giving an introductory 90 minute session on Social Media in Business - Best Practice for Entrepreneurs. I titled it Social Media for SOLO-preneurs i.e. entrepreneurs (usually 1-2 person teams) armed with heaps of passion and a business plan to go with it.
I created this presentation mainly in the hope it inspires small businesses and professionals to get started, have a play and explore the vast possibilities (or switch up a marketing gear and take it up a notch or two) with social media.
Q - Who is a Social Entrepreneur?
A - "Social entrepreneurs act as the change agents for communities and society, developing ideas and new approaches, creating and implementing solutions to social problems that change society for the better."
Interesting stats from the social media landscape & getting the basics rightJohn Barton
Interesting and visual presentation covering some of the most incredible Social Media stats from 2014 which seasoned professionals will find interesting. (Fully Sourced)
Including some very entry level considerations for social engagement in general which beginners might find useful.
A visual chronicle of the journey of developing engaging job posting on social media.
Helping Recruitment professionals diversify their content online and attract more talent.
The Social TV Conference is back after a the exciting inaugural event in 2013, where MTV, Orange, Ogilvy, Telescope, Red Bee Media, SecondSync, Telegraph Hill, Matt Locke, Tiffany St James and more presented awesome insights into what’s happening & evolving in Social TV & Second Screen interaction.
The 2014 event reaches new grounds with a venue shift to BAFTA, and with Social TV even more prominent in the minds of broadcasters, brands, social platform strategy and agencies – the event proves to be even more pertinent.
Expect insights from more than 12 speakers, from brands, social platforms and great examples of innovation as well as 3 panels and the opportunity for Q&A.
All this in the mecca of TV & Entertainment; BAFTA; with their cinema style comfort and luxury catering. Surely not to be missed for anyone serious about Social & TV broadcast & advertising.
