JT was proud to partner with Crowdcentric, the global organizers of Social Media Week (SMW), to produce Social Media Week Chicago 2015, which took place on November 16-20 at the Merchandise Mart.

A few of the more than 200 speakers who took the stage include:
Howard Tullman, CEO, 1871
Goldie Taylor, editor-at-large, The Daily Beast
Bev Gooden, creator, #WhyIStayed
Suey Park, founder/writer/activist; originator of #CancelColbert

For the past six years, Social Media Week conferences in more than 20 countries have brought together over half-a-million people at thousands of hosted events on six continents to discuss the revolution in human connectivity and the role that social media and technology plays in global society, culture and the “new” economy. JT is proud to have helped enable Chicago to be part of that conversation.
Behind the scenes, JT helped create the weeklong agenda, managed the event logistics and speaker outreach and coordination, and assisted in audience development and digital content creation.
