Gravity Summit's Social Media Marketing for Business Conference to be Streamed
Exclusively on CNN.com Live on August 31st at Harvard
Twitter stars MC Hammer, Gary Vaynerchuk and more to stream live as they
present on Social Media's role in today's culture




BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., Aug. 17 /PRNewswire/ -- Gravity Summit is pleased to
announce that CNN.com Live, the Internet's only multi-stream live video news
service, will be exclusively streaming Gravity Summit's upcoming Social Media
Marketing for Business conference at the Harvard Faculty Club in Cambridge, MA
on August 31, 2009.  

Online users can go to www.CNN.com/Live on the 31st at 9:00 a.m. ET to watch
Gravity Summit at Harvard's complete agenda which includes an impressive
line-up of speakers such as MC Hammer, Gary Vaynerchuk, Dunkin' Donuts,
Southwest Airlines, the American Red Cross, CNN, Domino's, EMC, Arnold
Worldwide, SHIFT Communications and Rebel Industries.

CNN.com Live, the only offering of its kind, has emerged as one of the top
destinations for live events on the web. This past July, CNN.com served 10.5
million live video streams for the Michael Jackson memorial; and, on
Inauguration Day, broke the record for the largest live video event in
Internet history. 

"The opportunity for our speakers and sponsors to reach a massive and highly
desirable audience exclusively through one of CNN.com Live's streams is
groundbreaking for us. Having your brand being perceived as relevant via
social media is quickly becoming the standard by which businesses and brands
are being judged by consumers," said Rodney Rumford, founder of Gravity
Summit.  "Social relevancy is quickly becoming a currency in the digital world
and no company can afford to be socially bankrupt; especially in these
economic times." 

"Gravity Summit consistently educates, informs and empowers audiences with
very socially relevant content of high value and our event at Harvard event is
no exception," added Beverly Macy, CEO of Gravity Summit.  "Our choice to
stream exclusively on CNN.com Live allows our speakers and sponsors the
opportunity to be highly relevant and well positioned amongst senior
executives and decision makers from Fortune 500 companies and small
businesses."  

Gravity Summit events help bridge the gap between the new Social Media
Marketing tools and the business community, by educating and informing
marketing professionals, small business owners, advertisers, and c-Level
executives, and others, about the exciting new marketing and communications
landscape that is evolving daily.  Gravity Summit Harvard is sponsored in part
by Quicken Online, part of Intuit Inc.'s Consumer Group; Cisco Consumer Group,
Visible TechnologiesTweetPhoto and PitchEngine. Additional sponsorship 
opportunities are still available.
