It will combine keynotes, critical debates, demos and experiences with open space and participatory sessions, in a fun and engaging event. Computers have become social interfaces for sharing digital media and collaborating to build online communities and folksonomies.

The Social Technologies Summit will explore the new social spaces and the social implications of technologies for the many different kinds of people who make, use and are affected by them. In keeping with the Environment 2.0 theme of Futuresonic in 2009, this year it will also explore the interface between our digital footprint and our environmental footprint, and new thinking on sustainability in a globalised world. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Call For Submissions http://www.socialtechsummit.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Inviting proposals for talks, presentations, workshops and session themes.
