The Gravity Summit team is excited to announce that MC Hammer, our latest keynote speaker booked to appear at Gravity Summit Harvard on August 31st, was interviewed about his use of social media by CBS News.
He will appear in the technology segment of a special eight-part series called “The Future” that is set to air on CBS Sunday Morning News and streamed on www.cbs.com in mid-August. MC Hammer’s keynote involvement at Gravity Summit caught the attention of CBS News as an unusual speaker for a popular conference that predominantly caters to Fortune 1000 brand marketers, as well as nonprofits and the technology startup community.
For a special sneak peak of the interview recorded from Hammer’s home kitchen, while Tweeting live with fans, visit http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/1853537 .
In addition to CBS News, be on the lookout at the end of August for a Parade Magazine interview with Hammer about social networking tips, timed with his upcoming Gravity Summit keynote. @Morocca is the interviewer from CBS, they had a good time for sure. We can’t begin to tell you how much fun we’re having working with Hammer to set up these interviews!
Since launching the Gravity Summit only five months ago, we have been excited and overwhelmed by the level of industry and media interest as well as sponsorship support for our conferences and mission to keep business leaders ahead of the curve in maximizing the use of social media for a competitive edge. We’re finding that our one-day intensive event is not only time effective, but cost-effective for participants.
Stay tuned for more exciting developments leading up to the Gravity Summit in Boston. If you don’t have a ticket yet, get one now before we sell out. We look forward to seeing you soon!
