> The Social Technologies Summit has prefigured new trends and is a  
> place where important international discussions take place on the  
> latest developments in social media and their implications for  
> society. Discover the small sparks that unfold into new ways of  
> seeing the world and critically explore the latest upgrade affecting  
> today’s digital culture.
>
> It will combine keynotes, critical debates, demos and experiences  
> with open space and participatory sessions, in a fun and engaging  
> event.
>
> Computers have become social interfaces for sharing digital media  
> and collaborating to build online communities and folksonomies.  
> Social technologies create an extension of social space, and new  
> ways for people to come together, meet and share in today's society.
>
> The Social Technologies Summit will explore the new social spaces  
> and the social implications of technologies for the many different  
> kinds of people who make, use and are affected by them. In keeping  
> with the Environment 2.0 theme of Futuresonic in 2009, this year it  
> will also explore the interface between our digital footprint and  
> our environmental footprint, and new thinking on sustainability in a  
> globalised world.
