Social media is not the domain of just PR, marketing, communications, technology and library sectors. It is about the average person making their own content.

I think a good basic primer on copyright - when it's okay and not okay to use something, getting permission from an author/composer/performer/etc and what the upsides/downsides to something like Creative Commons are.

Social Media, Social Change

How social media can be used for more than just updating on what we're watching on TV or what our friends are doing. Discuss companies like kiva.org and One LapTop Per Child to see social change in action, examine how social media has helped their efforts. Explore ideas on how social media and its users can help affect positive global changes in health care and education. Special guest speaker Bill Gates :)

Inspiration to start (or restart) a podcast.

Some sort of session that will inspire people to start (or restart) a podcast (possibly that they podfaded, or just that they want to start).

So why are we still blogging and what should we be using?

There are so many options out there nowadays -- whether it be Twitter, Utterz, "old" standbys like Blogger and Wordpress or your status line on social networks. There's even a resurgence of using IM services.

What do you want to accomplish and what do you need to do. That's the heart of the presentation. It sounds a lot simpler to figure out than it really is...

Social Media is for Everyone

Social media is not the domain of just PR, marketing, communications, technology and library sectors. It is about the average person making their own content. So often these industries see it as solely their own domain, and as a result tend to only talk amongst themselves, looking to each other for new ideas. It is time to look beyond the blinders and see what other people are doing with the new technologies.

Comic-com meets Sundance.

The opportunity to view, educate, and create content for comics. Somewhat done, but there needs to be longer sessions between the professionals and the pro-sumer.

What a sideways organisation really means

We all know that we've moved from hierarchical to networked, from proprietary to open, from vertical to horizontal. But have we really?

The power remains in the PowerPoint. And until we dismantle something, it's going to stay that way. It's not about social media or the underlying technology, it's about community. Community within the enterprise, community beyond the enterprise.

So what is it that we have to dismantle? And will we ever? Does anyone care?

What Social Media Medium Is Right For My Business?

So many businesses jump into social media and end up failing not because their strategy is poor but because they chose the wrong one to launch from.

Agree with @Lori. Similarly, a panel on "setting your employees free" and how they can be your best advocates online through transparency and evangelism.

I'd love to see something on education. Maybe something like Education 2.0: the future of the formal education system.

I think a lot of us realize the formal education system needs to change and evolve to meet the changing world, and I'd love to see a discussion/session about where it should be going.

Books You Need to Read About Social Media

This could be a group discussion. This area seems to be changing quickly. Every few months there are new influential books with great ideas. It can be challenging to keep track of things.

Why Social Media is/is not Marketing and is/is not PR

Social Media is a little bit country (PR) and a little bit Rock & Roll (Marketing). How the two need to communicate better amongst themselves and change the way they communicate with the user.

Outreach and Communities - Why Retail Politics works and why its lessons are so important to Social Media initiatives.

Trying to yell at/sell at users is going the way of the dodo. The goal is to connect with users on their terms and the spaces and places of their choosing. This requires a lot of hard work to understand these folks outside of demographics and requires investment (time, money, product, listening) in the community over a long period of time. ROI needs to remember what the I stands for (and it isn't "Immediate" or "Intense"). Discuss in the context of Retail politics seen in the recent presidential primaries.

Why Your Company Needs a Community Builder

Using social media tools for your business takes more than setting up a blog, a Facebook profile and a twitter feed. You need someone who is passionate about your product and its community. Someone who understands the ins-and-outs of social tools and their etiquette.

Social Media and Measurement - Clicks, Hits, Adds, Reads, Subscriptions, Comments, Trackbacks and really important things that aren't easily counted

How conversational marketing/social media/we-media is changing how we view value in the marketplace. Why ROI seems to be missing the "I" (investment) lately and why there wont be one accepted model.

NeuroSociety - In some ways, those leveraging the current collective via social networking's tools are a subculture. What are the benefits this neurosociety realizes that mainstream doesn't. What happens to the new minority when the neuro SM collective becomes mainstream?

Maybe more of a conversation, than a presentation.
