Social data is * important*, and the Sentiment Analysis Symposium is *the* conference for everyone who needs to discover meaning and opportunity in social media. It's about leading-edge social intelligence, rooted in what's practical today. You'll have an opportunity to meet the Twitter-partner companies and our other sponsors -- and hear from an all-star speakers line-up -- at the October 30 symposium in San Francisco. Are you involved in marketing, market research, customer experience, or media, or do you work in government and public affairs? With keynotes by Kate Niederhoffer, an expert on the psychology of social media (ex-Dachis and Nielsen), and VS Subrahmanian of the University of Maryland -- and speakers from the American Cancer Society, Cisco, Dow Jones, IBM, J.D. Power, Thomson Reuters, and more -- the symposium is for you.

The Agenda link on the registration page will take you to the full program, you'll also find information on all nine of our (current) sponsors. They include Lexalytics, whose text and sentiment analysis are a key DataSift content-processing component. Lexalytics sentiment analysis is also plugged into Radian6 and is used by a host of other social-intelligence and "voice of the customer" applications. Symposium sponsor DiscoverText, a start-up that provides cloud based text analytics, similarly delivers unlimited-access Twitter analytics via a deal with Gnip. Our sponsor NetBase is the leader in brand sentiment and a spectrum of social-intelligence applications, and Converseon as a full-service social media agency with its own innovative social-intelligence tools.
