Cancun to Host International Social Networking Conference

The Cancun Convention and Visitors Bureau announced that the destination will host the First International Social Networking Conference to be held on Nov. 25 and 26 at the Cancun Convention Center. This international meeting will bring together leading figures of Mexico's social networking scene, as well as businessmen and representatives of media.

Based on their experience and knowledge of the subject, speakers will offer a series of lectures and workshops with themes such as "Work Ethic in Social Networking," "The Online Phenomenon of Express Newspapers and BlackBerrys," and "Legal Framework of Social Networks in Mexico," among others.

These conferences will be chaired by Jordi Rosado; Ricardo Garza, editor of the Revista GatoPardo in Mexico; and Juan Pablo Mirabent, president of the Mexican Association of Real Estate in Cancun. Other local celebrities who will be in attendance include Anahí, to speak about the more than 2 million followers he has on Twitter, and Antanás Mockus, the twice-elected mayor of Bogota, Colombia, who is in the process of his third campaign, with a video about the power of social networks in a political campaign.

As social networking is a digital phenomenon that naturally attracts the younger generation, the First International Social Networking Conference will also feature an event called Cancun & Riviera Maya Social Nets Fest, which will be held inside the beach club and famed nightclub, The City -- located in the heart of Cancun's hotel zone -- and where there will be a relaxed atmosphere with live music by Tricilo Circus Band.
