At gdgt Live, the companies are there to meet with you, get your feedback, and answer your questions.

All told, there will be about 25 companies at gdgt Live in LA, including one lucky LA area startup.

The deadline for submitting is Sunday on October 16th at midnight and the winner will be announced on the gdgt blog the following day.

In addition to the free stuff, there will be plenty of chances to win serious gear like a Lenovo laptop, Olympus E-PM1 camera, Sonos PLAY:3, and lots more.

Social Media Club is an international organization with local chapters across the US and around the world. Social Media Club LA focuses on the unique mix of entertainment, technology and culture that makes LA an epicenter of the next evolution of the internet. The LA Chapter was founded in July of 2008.

Our upcoming meeting will focus on the effect of social media on the film industry.

We will cover:

  • Digital distribution
  • Social discovery
  • Marketing/PR in this new landscape
  • DRM
  • Democratized content
  • Opportunities for indies
  • The importance and power of community
  • Legal considerations
  • And much more

We’ve got a great line-up in the works. Panelists will be announced by Friday January 19th.

Note: Up until now our events have been free. As the sole organizer of the LA chapter, finding free venues and sponsors for each meeting has been a challange. I hope you all find these events valuable enough to contribute $10.00 for attendance, which will go towards venue costs and towards making this organization more sustainable, bringing in speakers for future events, and making our meetings even better than they already are.

Thanks!

-Jackie
