Local Social Summit

Local Social Summit (LSS) is an independent event for knowledge sharing and networking that explored the intersection of Local, Social and Mobile. We strive to educate and inspire with a focus on the cutting edge by showcasing emerging trends and key insights at the intersection of Local, Social and Mobile. LSS is designed for a wide spectrum of SoLoMo stakeholders, including publishers, advertisers, start-ups, app creators, technology companies and investors. We produce an annual summit every November in London, plus training and smaller stand alone seminars throughout the year. In addition, we run world-class training seminars, participate in Social Media Week and publish occasional industry report - which can be found on Slideshare.
