In keeping with the conference’s inter- and transdisciplinary focus, we 
welcome both quantitative and qualitative scholarly and original 
submissions that crosses disciplinary boundaries and expands our 
understanding of current and future trends in social media research 
across many fields including (but not limited to): Communication, 
Computer Science, Education, Journalism, Information Science, Law, 
Management, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology.

*ABOUT THE CONFERENCE*

#SMSociety is a gathering of leading social media researchers from 
around the world. It is the premier venue for sharing and discovering 
new peer-reviewed interdisciplinary research on how social media affects 
society. Organized by the Social Media Lab at Ted Rogers School of 
Management at Ryerson University, #SMSociety provides participants with 
opportunities to exchange ideas, present original research, learn about 
recent and ongoing studies, and network with peers.

*NEW FOR 2022*

·#SMSociety will switch from being an annual conference to a biennial 
conference. After 2022, the next iteration of #SMSociety will be in the 
summer of 2024 (exact date, location and format TBD).

·The Program Committee for #SMSociety will be authors who have submitted 
their papers to the conference for consideration. For a submission to be 
considered, one author from each submission is required to peer review 
(double blind) three other conference submissions.

·Instead of Full and WIP paper submissions, #SMSociety will now be 
inviting authors to submit extended abstracts with a 1k-1.5K word limit.

·The program will be organized in a way to support attendance across 
multiple time zones and will allow our authors to safely connect. All 
presentations will also be recorded and made available to registered 
attendees for a limited time after the conference.
