“Erik brought us up-to-the-minute knowledge of trends in social media in an entertaining and inspirational way. He also helped us see the relevance of those trends to our current and future business.” – David Duplantis, SVP/Global Web & Digital Media | Coach, Inc.
“Erik Qualman made such a positive difference at Nokia’s Global Sales and Marketing Meeting 2010 with the theme “the changing consumer journey”. Invited to speak about the ever changing Social Media environment, Erik brought a holistic view on the topic, he gave numerous examples of how social media is affecting people and importantly, how companies must react to address the opportunities the change represents. His personal style and the content of his presentation opened up for great discussion and the subsequent panel session where Erik was joined by members of Nokia’s Executive Management, was very open and action-orientated. I am convinced Erik can contribute to driving change towards embracing and utilizing social media with any size of company in literally any business. He certainly contributed to the awareness and importance of the plans of transition Nokia has undertaken.” - Bjorn Ulfberg, VP of Marketing | Nokia
“Erik gives a highly engaging and easy to understand keynote/seminar- if you need to know Digital/Social Media in business, then you need to know Erik Qualman.” – William Hawkes, PhD – CMO | AmericasMart
“Erik Qualman was a perfect keynote speaker. He combined his experience of social networks with our main topic of broadband and fibre to the home in a professional way. His lively presentation fascinated the audience and the messages were a great start for our FTTH conference with the Prime Minister of Portugal!” – Hartwig Tauber, Director General | FTTH Council Europe
“Qualman is to social media what Demming is to quality and Drucker to management.” - Scott Galloway, Professor of Marketing NYU Stern School of Business & Chairman, L2 Think Tank

UPCOMING talks would be fab too!
Its almost sad to have to just read all of the ones I’ve missed out on!

Renee:
Good call we will look to add these! I’m speaking with the Prime Minister of Portugal next week in Lisbon which should be fun!

I too would be interested in talking to you about a speaking engagement. Do drop me a line when you get the chance.
Thanks!

Hello Erik -
I’m loving the direction you’ve gone and a large supporter of social media. Where are you speaking next? I would love to hear your thoughts on different topics and the current pulse as you see it unfolding.
My question:
MySpace had a HUGE pull for awhile and had an intense audience. Now with Facebook shifting gears they have taken a sizable lead over MySpace.
Do you see Facebook being moved to the side by any competing social media sites or do you see MySpace shifting gears and re-marketing themselves back into competition?
Thanks for your response and keep up the great work,
Dan Morell

equalman // December 4, 2009 at 4:52 pm |

I need to get back to my home state soon. I spoke a few months back in Rochester Hills, but need to get back.
Thanks!
Mike McCready // November 20, 2009 at 7:14 am |
Hi Erik, love the videos and will definitely be buying the book. I’m a web manager for a college in Alberta, Canada. I was wondering if you have any speaking engagements planned for Canada? Also, how would we go about hiring you to speak?
equalman // November 21, 2009 at 3:08 pm |
Mike: Thanks for the kind words! For speaking items please send a note to socialnomics at gmail please!
JK // November 9, 2009 at 9:13 am |
Erik,
You should consider coming to South Africa as well. There is such a lack of knowledge with regard to implementing social media into current marketing strategies. Great site!
JK
PS: I am doing my thesis on New Media and your site has been a light in the dark! THANKS!
equalman // November 9, 2009 at 5:09 pm |
JK:
I’m glad you find the site helpful! I am scheduled to do a video skype broadcast in SA. Once I know the date I will let you know. I visited there once about 7 years ago and loved it (went Great White Shark diving too). Thanks for the kind words.
Bobby // November 8, 2009 at 9:21 pm |
My Global Studies teacher asked me to quickly check to see if there was a cost for you to come and speak about Socialnomics and the Social Media Revolution.
Location: New York State
equalman // November 9, 2009 at 5:10 pm |
Bobby:

Hi Erik,
don’t forget to visit sometimes also the old continent
When and where do you think to visit us?
Maybe Italy, Rome
?
equalman // November 6, 2009 at 3:03 pm |
I would love to! I haven’t had great food and culture in a long time…so it would be nice to get over that way. I’ll let you know.
Nicola Furlong // October 29, 2009 at 9:43 pm |
Hi Erik,
Just wanted to congratulate you on your excellent presentation today at Book Biz’s Digital Forum. Especially liked your examination of how to use social networking sites to determine marketing strategies for publishers.
equalman // October 30, 2009 at 3:50 am |
Nicola:
I’m glad you found this publisher session helpful – I know I had a ton of fun doing it so it’s great to hear it helped!
Imcouple // October 15, 2009 at 7:17 am |
want to but the book but does it have a digital version ? (regular PDF and not for kindle)
equalman // October 15, 2009 at 2:29 pm |
Only Kindle for now, but working with publisher on this!
Paul Duran // October 14, 2009 at 3:41 am |
Loved the book! I am recommending it to my friends and can’t wait until your next one. It was insightful and very well written.
equalman // October 15, 2009 at 3:48 am |
Paul:
You are too good to me – thanks for spreading the Socialnomic word! Best – Erik
Clinton Calwell // August 26, 2009 at 10:18 am |
Loved the video, extremely inspiring. Will be ordering the book tomorrow.
Any plans for a speaking engagement in the Vancouver BC or Seattle area?
Kaarina Kvaavik // August 24, 2009 at 6:12 pm |
I see you’re having a book launch September 10, in Boston… But, no location yet. Are you signing and/or speaking about the book in Boston somewhere? If so, I’d love to know. I’ve just ordered the book and am looking forward to reading all of it…
equalman // August 25, 2009 at 3:29 am |
The Book Launch Party is at BiNA Restaurant (581 Washington Street) in downtown Boston from 6-9 pm on 9/10. The really exciting thing is that it’s a dual book launch party with Chris Brogan author of Trust Agents.
I will also be speaking at Harvard Bookstore (COOP) on Tuesday, Ocotber 13th.
Gary Fountaine // August 23, 2009 at 10:27 pm |
Need to do a West Coast / San Francisco Bay Area apperance.
equalman // August 24, 2009 at 2:13 am |
Gary – thanks for buying the book and your support. If you have any engagements in mind on the West Coast I love getting out there. I hope the video works well during your presentation!
Kent Simpson // August 17, 2009 at 2:06 am |
I’d like to talk to you about a possible engagement in Tucson, Arizona – what’s your fee structure?
Oscar // August 8, 2009 at 4:39 am |
Yeah the video is cool. It would be cool if you had a post soon with the sources and stuff for the facts. Or did I miss it?
Anyway, it gets me fired up when I see that video. Added you to my reader. keep up the good work.
Oscar // August 7, 2009 at 11:51 pm |
No West Coast yet eh? You should make a trip out here, I think you’d pack the house. I love the video by the way, the revolution one. Its awesome. Inspiring.
equalman // August 8, 2009 at 2:26 am |
Oscar – glad you liked the video! I hope to get to the Valley soon as it’s never good to be away from there too long.
