The Mashable Media Summit, celebrates trends in technology and media, and explores the evolution of social media. Research shows that today more than 66% of adults are connected to at least one social media platform. As demand continues to rise for these platforms, they are evolving beyond content curation and becoming creators of content, as well. We now must ask: are social media companies becoming simply a new breed of traditional media companies?

At this year's Mashable Media Summit, Jessica Bennett, executive editor at Tumblr, and Dan Roth, executive editor at LinkedIn, will join Mashable's community manager Meghan Peters onstage, to discuss the rise of social media sites at publishers.

Held on Nov. 2 at the TimesCenter in New York City, the Mashable Media Summit is a one-day conference that will explore the latest innovations in the space and the future of journalism. Plus, you'll have the opportunity to network with high-level executives in many industries and mingle with Mashable staff. As in previous years, this event will sell out, so get your tickets now.
