Social Media Week #SMWMumbai 2014 - My Story

By Awanish Kumar @snazzyawi
I got a chance to explore the Social Media week '14 in Mumbai  ,delegated  by Blogadda . Since it was scheduled during the weekdays I took a a leave from my office for the closing day .

Just to give an introduction what is this Social Media Week ,2014  basically Social Media Week is full of panels and discussions on how to create more engaging content, which Socialbakers furthered by developing the Smart Storyteller benchmark.


During my short visit to the event at Novotel hotel ,Juhu  I found the atmosphere very exciting .
Also got the chance to meet few of my fellow blogger at the event ,we were just roaming around to find something interesting for us & get something to learn for !!

I would like to share some interesting facts & my experience of the events I have attended at SMW


26 Sept '14 -Closing Day Events # Ek Jhalak  : 

DHARAVI GOES SOCIAL : 
Interesting Panel Discussion by Fahim & Tauseef – Founder- Dharavi Tour

Dharavi famously known as the Largest Slum of Asia and off late the place where Slumdog Millionaire was shot is a land of diverse people and industries. 


 We were guided by Fahim and Tauseef of Be The Local Tours & Travel, who specialise in Dharavi tours.
MAKING BUSINESS SOCIAL OR DOING SOCIAL BUSINESS?

This part was something which is still creating confusion in my mind ,however the speaker was very confident how we are using social media for business & brand promotion .In an age of marketing and business that is increasingly social, many businesses and thought leaders stress the importance of creating a culture that embraces social media inside and out. A social media savvy business encourages collaboration across teams, surfaces expertise from SME's 
and can scale brand and community engagement by drawing upon the collective wisdom of employees and customers.

BOLLYWOOD TROLLING: FUN & NEW AGE : This was the last event for SMW'14 ,As I  said not all panel discussions are meant to ‘chew your brain’.This was a  fun session to troll on Bollywood and to discuss on how Bollywood has gone more social and conversational with the emerge of Social Media.

Enjoyed the interaction with bollywood team & it was really fun .
