This session explores how platforms are moving beyond the social graph toward an entertainment-first, interest-driven model. You’ll learn why DMs, group chats, and private sharing are now at the heart of social interaction, and how to build strategy around these spaces. We’ll also dive into the “searchification” of social, where TikTok and Instagram are quickly replacing Google as go-to discovery tools. Come away with practical insights on how to thrive in this new era where content relevance, shareability, and community matter more than follower counts.Networking: 11:30 a.m. – 12:00 p.m.Panel Discussion: 12:00 – 1:00 p.m.Lunch Included: RSVP by Monday, March 9, to guarantee your mealSponsored by nativeMsgRCS for Business messaging to transform experiences.
