Social Media Week Lima 2021 is happening and we are SO excited about it!
Hugs, selfies, roundtables, intimate conversations, and networking…. It’s going to be epic.
SMWL is a big-city conference with a small-city mentality; it’s BIG in energy but feels intimate and deeply connected.
Our speakers will discuss the biggest marketing trends and technologies, how they work, and how you can incorporate them into your business.
So, what’s the who, what, where, when, why, and how of the event?
We broke it all down on Magnet Marketers to explain how we’re not the same ole social media conference.
Who Should Attend SMWL:
If you own a business or work in marketing, you understand how important it is to keep up with the constantly changing landscape that is social media.
You also know how isolating this past year has been. It’s like, we need HUGS, STAT!
For our NOW team, with so many remote employees, we’re going to have the chance to meet IN PERSON for the first time because of the pandemic.
Now, more than ever, our team is SO excited to bring people together to laugh, learn and create lasting connections.
If you’re looking to enhance your marketing and magnetize the right audience for your business, this event is for you. If you’re looking to better show up as a brand, this event is for you! If you’re looking to build real relationships, this event is for you!
Who Is Speaking:
The speaker lineup is seriously the best part of our conference. We’ve got a value-packed lineup of 25+ of the industry’s most dynamic speakers coming in to discuss the art of creating unfiltered content.
These are speakers with heart, passion, knowledge, skills and SO much freakin’ energy!
Not to mention, they are willing to take the time to truly build relationships and spend time at the event.

What Unfiltered Means:
The future of social media is dark social - the conversations happening in the inbox that are real, private, and authentic -- AKA unfiltered.
Consumers are having conversations about our brands in chat, email, and text, and they account for business, web traffic, and our reputation!
“When consumers have something to share, they’re more likely to head to dark social channels to do so (63%) rather than open social media platforms (54%).” –Global Index
Dark social is only going to continue to shift how we communicate with clients, which is why we have to invest in building relationships with them -- so that we are invited to the conversation and worthy of being talked about.
When + Where It’s Happening:
Our NINTH annual conference will take place on August 11 and 12, at the UNOH Event Center located at 1450 N. Cable Rd. in Lima, Ohio. (The 25,000 square foot all-purpose event center is handicap accessible and accommodates nursing mothers with a private nursing lounge.)
We encourage out of towners to learn more about our hotel and travel accommodations, as well as the amazing Legacy Arts District that we’re proud to be involved with.
Did we mention that we’re having a Street Party in downtown Lima on Sunday, August 7, 2021!?
