Social Media for Social Change Strength in Users

SOCON The First Social Media CON for Social Media and Internet Users September 26 27 28 2014 at the Trump Taj Mahal Casino Hotel in Atlantic City SOCON MISSION STATEMENT Promote the advancement of human earth beings through idea sharing and social experience.

Atlantic City, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/27/2014 -- Any metropolitan city on Earth, a sea of various portable electronic devices, manufactured by Goliath companies like Android Google GOOG, Microsoft MSFT, and Apple AAPL. These companies have developed users, followers or customers, who show the same loyalty to their operating system as they do for pro-athletes.

When users have issues with their purchases, corporate giants funnel their customers through a rat maze of automated prompts and bots, and right to the exit. Customer service globally has been disintegrating at alarming rates. A general apathetic philosophy accepted by the majority of business owners has created a world of the walking dead. Negative employees, dissatisfied customers and overall negativity streaming through our society. This paired with the misguided, fear inducing, action oriented advertising (ED, depression, chronic everything, pharmaceuticals etc) has made the virtual world a mess. Social media users “RANT” about social issues and injustices all the time, and finally have reached the boiling point that has moved them beyond the selfish “i-conomy” to a new hope of a world where they are NOT ALONE.

SOCON members have been working individually on many social initiatives, ranging from disease awareness, charitable organizations and political agendas. They are reforming the virtual world, to create a utopian virtual community where the entrepreneur can thrive. Connecting developers and consumers is just the beginning of banishing obscene profit margins and layers of inefficient redundancies.

SOCIAL FUN:
Social anxiety no problem! PsyMedia Doctor Ivan Ferrero has been producing an entire series to help USERS survive and thrive in the virtual world.

Single? SOCON is the perfect place to meet other single people, or network to them. Color coded wristbands will be worn and exchanged by SOCON members to ensure a safe, no mixed message environment. This “physical exercise experience” is a perfect way for business professionals to fine tune their in person social skills.

“Many SOCON attendees are traveling alone to meet their friends in real life for the first time. Through the internet and social media we have access to professional and expert information and opinions. We use these tools to improve our lives. People opening virtual stores all the time, and NOW is the TIME for the everyday regular person who missed, “the gold rush,” “IBM stock,” “buying URL names,” “apple stock,” “google stock,” and many other specific time sensitive windows to get the most return on your time and money investment.” explained Kristen Slevin Co-Founder of SOCON.

SOCON is still accepting SOCON Advocates to read an “Open Letter to the World” at SOCON. These letters will address specific global social issues, that are traditionally banned from most dinner tables around the world. Single, partnership and family equality, along with many other religion and politics articles, expressed live at SOCON, and then posted for discussion. All “Open Letters” will be published with the articles of SOCON. SOCON is about celebrating social media, and civilization, and promoting peace through friendship.
