Top Takeaways From Social Media Week Lima 2024

Social Media Week Lima 2024, the eleventh year of our annual conference, took place on June 19 + 20, 2024, and we are still riding the amazing energetic high!

We are amazed by how much value was shared in just 2 short days packed with learning, laughter, relationship building, and an unforgettable emerging experience. We're thrilled to welcome over 200 incredible attendees!

Not to mention, our incredible speaker lineup blew our minds and got us ready to truly emerge into the ever-changing world of digital marketing.?

There was a feeling of collaboration and creativity in the air between all of the attendees, speakers, sponsors, and NOW team members! It truly was one of the most interactive and community-oriented years we have ever had for our conference, and it was clear to see that everyone was in Lima to connect.

Here are our top takeaways from Social Media Week Lima 2024!

Post-Conference Action Steps:

It's all too easy to get information overload after attending a conference. That's why we want to help you implement everything that you learned!

Or hey, maybe you're reading this and didn't even attend the conference! We're here to help you too! We encourage using our post-SMWL action plan below as a way to tap into the power of the ideas generated in Lima for your business!?

Here is our post-SMWL24 action plan:

• Make your "critical three" list - aka write out the 3 most critical action items that you want to take as a result of listening to all of the amazing speakers. (Here's a tip for one item: join our SMWL24 Facebook Group if you haven't already!)?

• Follow our speakers on social media
• Exchange phone numbers with someone you met at the conference that you'd love to have as an accountability buddy for taking action
• Revise your website copy or social media posts to be more authentically you?

• It's time to open your notebook from Lima and browse back through the notes you took. It's amazing how quickly time flies and there's a good chance that you haven't been able to follow up with everyone you wanted to and/or take action on everything you had in mind when you left Lima. Now is the time to make sure you do them!?

Pro tip: Put these to-do list items in your calendar. This is a great way to hold yourself accountable.

• Mark your calendar for SMWL25! Before you know it, June 18 + 19, 2025 will be here and we'll be doing this all over again!

Conferences can be overwhelming at times, and the emotional crash afterward is totally "a thing," which is why we're here to help you keep that momentum going!?
