April 3, 2012
Welcome to The Social TV Summit San Francisco, a high level executive conference designed to learn
how social media is effecting how we all view content, on the big screen in your living room, on your
laptop, on your tablet, mobile phone and Out of Home.
As the Social TV space is “white-hot”, The Social TV Summit San Francisco is going to continue to help
you fully understand the opportunities that Social TV can provide.
Throughout the day we will be asking you to tell us your thoughts, opinions, emotions and sentiment.
We believe that the audience is a part of each panel and we want you to interact and be social during
these important panels and discussions. So grab a mike, Tweet your thoughts, Facebook your friends
and vote with our Real Time Poll system.
We will be streaming The Social TV Summit LIVE today, so feel free to let your colleagues who aren’t
here, know about how they can still join the discussion from their office or home.
I have been organizing conferences since the late 1980s and I always make sure there is great
networking opportunities to build new relationships, enhance the existing one’s and create a friendly
deal-making environment. If you would like to meet anyone here, please ask Jack Myers or I, or any of
our great staff to make that introduction for you.
Thank you for joining us here at the Bently Reserve. We think it is the perfect venue to bring together
all of the key stakeholders in Social TV. Jack Myers and I hope you: learn, network, make deals and
have fun!

Dear Colleague,
Since Andy and I hosted the first Social TV Summit just eight months ago, the advances in
applications have accelerated, improved and become an embedded part of the television
ecosystem. In the next several months, there will be continued advances and growth.
Yet the social TV business remains undeveloped, with a growing number of companies
struggling to differentiate themselves, identify and communicate their core focus, and build
scalable revenue models.
Most importantly, the Social TV business will be emphasizing the truly social aspects of
television, incorporating conversation, commerce, gaming and rewards. What excites me
most about Social TV is that it puts television content at the center of marketers’ total
marketing communications strategies, from sales promotion and direct marketing to
interactive communications.
Social TV is all about the opportunity for fans to engage with the TV shows they love,
and about marketers’ ability to connect with and engage those fans more directly and
effectively.
I’m grateful to the sponsors and participants who are coming together today to share their
opportunities, experiences and vision for the future. We are at the center of the future of
media, and I’m proud to be associated with you all.
Jack Myers
Media Economist

“BETTER TO FIGHT
FOR SOMETHING
THAN LIVE
FOR NOTHING.”
-GEORGE S. PATTON
AND WE ARE INDEED READY TO FIGHT.
At this very moment, there are more than 800,000 Military Veterans who are
unemployed. 800,000 Fathers, Mothers, Sons and Daughters who courageously
and successfully defended our Country and the American way of life. But this
has to change. And it will.
America Wants You is determined to fight for what’s right. We’re dedicated to
knocking on every corner office door in America to ask companies large and
small to make hiring military veterans a real priority.
We’ll be asking you to join companies like Southwestern Energy ®, U.S. Steel®
and CareerBuilder ® who have already pledged their support. So the question is,
when America Wants You calls, will you answer?
