We're pleased to announce our February event will be held on the Thursday 16th as part of Social Media Week (SMW) London 2012 and interactive studio, Specialmoves is proudly sponsoring, along with our regular sponsors Accel and Gamaroff Digital. This month we're at Glaziers Hall on the Southbank by London Bridge (instead of our regular Covent Garden venue).

Guest speakers for the event include Richard Sedley, Commercial Director at Foviance and author of Winners and Losers in a Troubled Economy, who will talk about seduction, influence and persuasion - the art and science of social design. Gavin Clark, Head of Flash at Specialmoves, will cover his experiences wrestling with personalised videos on Facebook.

As usual Iskandar Najmuddin, Technical Director at Syncapse, will get us up to speed with his not-to-be-missed what's new on the Facebook platform rundown, Dave Nattriss, a freelance developer and secretary of the FDGL committee will tell us what's hot on Facebook, and Todd Chaffee, CEO of Bluecrow and FDGL chairman will host the evening and talk about recent Facebook news.

Couldn't make it last time or never been before? Here's a quick video report giving you a flavour of the event - there's much more information (including video recordings and slides from most of the talks) on our website:

Our events often sell out within days, so be quick to buy your ticket(s). We'll have beer, wine, juice and pizza, possibly some swag, and may go for after-drinks at the Mudlark across the road for those that want to wind down afterwards.

Tickets are available here - you must buy in advance to guarantee entry on the night. Earlybird tickets are available until Friday before the event, subject to quota.

If you miss out on or can't make this one, we look forward to seeing you at our next event, taking place on Wednesday 21st March 2012 - buy your ticket now.

As always we are grateful for the sponsorship of our events - thanks to our sponsors Accel, Gamaroff Digital and Specialmoves. If your organisation is interested in sponsoring us, please e-mail for more information.
