About Mashable’s Global Social Media Day

Social Media Day is a global movement originally started by Mashable a decade ago as a day to celebrate social media professionals and the technology. Today, most major cities throughout the world observe Social Media Day (June 30) and host large-scale conferences for the education of social media marketers.

About The Organizers 

Jacksonville native and current Los Angeles resident, Carlos Gil, owner of Gil Media Co. says, “It’s an honor to be able to bring an event like Social Media Day to Northeast Florida along with notable, big-name speakers who otherwise might never get a chance to speak in the area.” Since moving away in 2014, after a successful career stint at Winn-Dixie where Carlos started social media for the company, he has professionally grown as an international keynote speaker which has given him the opportunity to form personal relationships with many of the speakers.

Local digital marketing expert and business owner of Savvy Outsourcing, Erin Gordon is the local organizer for this event. “I am so proud to mark Jacksonville as a hub for marketing-revolutionaries,” Erin says. She goes on to explain, ”Jacksonville is the perfect location for a digital marketing empire. We have the involved community needed to pull off an epic conference. Together with the sponsorship of UNF Department of Communications, we are able to offer a conference that will leave the attendees educated on the trends in social media and excited for the future of the industry. This will equip marketers to gain more transaction in their marketing efforts.”
