The Lac Leman Forum this year organized a practitioner oriented conference “Navigating the Social Media Jungle”. It was held at the beautiful Olympic Museum in Lausanne. The keynote speakers covered a variety of topics, from Paul Argenti on Corporate Communication, insights on the social media strategy of the World Economic forum (Monck), to the legal issues of Web 2.0 (prof. Cottier) and the metrics in social media branding (Prof. Mandelli, in the picture).
All the speakers made consistent use of visualization to explain their examples, models and ideas. It seems that Web 2.0 and Social Media have a strong vocation on using visualization, as in this list of “10 outstanding Social Media infographics”
