Social Media Week Los Angeles brings together marketing, media and technology professionals from more than 50 countries with a curiosity and passion for new ideas, innovations and emerging trends in social media.

The number of social media users worldwide in 2018 is 3.2 billion, up 13 percent year-on-year. By 2020 almost 5 billion people will be connected."

Given this scale, social media has become the world’s most influential storytelling platform and the stories we tell have the ability to touch and inspire, and shake people to their cores. They can elevate people, educate them, and change them—or, they can divide us and tear us down. Ultimately, stories have the power to influence the world and the people who consume them, and with this influence comes responsibility.

The SMW audience is made up of professionals at the intersection of media, marketing and technology across a range of industries including marketing, advertising, communications, media, publishing, technology and entertainment.

"Conferences like Social Media Week are such a good forcing function for thinking big picture and thinking outside the weeds of the day to day. And it’s so nice to meet other people who are thinking about the same problems and questions that you are and have an opportunity to have a conversation about them."
- Lila King, Head of News and Publishing at Instagram
