#SMDayPHL

Our annual conference hosted every year on Social Media Day, June 30th, brings together thought leaders and influencers for one of the world’s premier conferences for social media, communications, and digital marketing professionals.

“I just want to thank the team that takes the time to pull this all together - the speakers are always from amazing brands and I do learn something new each year. It's great that we have such a wonderful event hosted here in our city.”

“Being a part of Social Media Day Philadelphia will not only be a worthwhile learning and networking experience, but it will also help you build brand awareness and extend your marketing reach. The team at Slice Communications also makes it fun and easy to get involved.“

“This has been a FANTASTIC day. The diversity of speakers, topics and formats is great! I don't work directly for my organization's communications department, but I've left with so many ideas of how to better serve our members and partners.”
