Social Media Conferences 2026 | Top Events, Seminars & Workshops

Our selection of academic social media conferences 2026 spans a variety of formats: workshops, events, trainings, and seminars.

With the rise of social media platforms over the past decade and their increased controversies ranging from the role in dissemination of information to the monopoly of big tech companies, and the immense positive potential of these platforms on the other hand, the subject is at the height of relevance. Events in this space cover a spectrum of topics: social media in marketing and advertising, freedom of speech, teaching and education in the age of social media, child and pre-teen development, misinformation and censorship, and numerous others.
