As the social media sector matures, people working in business, marketing, management, strategy, media planning TV, radio, multi platform, music and more have ample skills to help take it to the next level – but how can you get beyond the myths and stereotypes to find out more?

This panel seminar is for established people working in digital, traditional media or other creative industries who are looking for opportunities or information about working in social media.

Right now we're collecting your thoughts on some of the myths surrounding work in social media. What are your perceptions? What do you hear a lot from people outside the space? Perhaps it's something funny, or perhaps it's quite a serious point.

Either way, please share it - we'll be using the most interesting points during the event. Simply use the hashtags #smwldn #socialmyths to share your thoughts.
