ABOUT THE EVENT:

The objective of this 2-day event is to bring together experts in social

impact of social media on our society, and specifically how to measure 
influence on social media. The workshop will provide researchers in this 
area an opportunity to present and debate their ideas, and provide 
graduate students with the opportunity to build academic and 
professional contacts, present their research, and learn about the 
latest research in this area from a multidisciplinary perspective.

new metrics for studying and measuring influence and engagement on 
social media.
