So what exactly is the Social Media Influencers Summit?

“Social Media Influencers Summit is an annual event where national social media though-leaders and influencers convene to share best practices, discuss issues and concerns, promote ethics and standards and highlight each social media users responsibility.”

Fitz Gerard Villafuerte – Maximizing the Use of Social Media for your Business
Lisa Marie Mirasol – Social Media Advocacy Success Story: One for Iligan of Iligan Bloggers Society

To elaborate more on the theme – Trending Forward:

“Trending” means “the general direction in which something tends to move.” Each individual or company may have separate goals, but the ultimate goal of any “Social Media Influencer” is to create a buzz for its cause to make it appear on the “trending” topics of the social media networks.

“Forward” is being used to depict the innovation/presentation that each social media influencers should do to reach and influence the target audience. Buzz is not created by all. It is practiced by those who had mastered it. And this craft is fast changing with the dynamic preference and attitudes of the social media users.

I will be representing our very own CDO Bloggers, Inc. and will talk on the fundamentals of growing the Network of Cagayan de Oro Bloggers. What excites me the most is to talk to more 300 expected guests, meeting a lot of people, first time in Cebu (Yes!) and the opportunity to impart the organizations experiences.

To engage in the summit, the official hashtags are the following: #TrendingForward #SMIS2013. See yah there!
