As I expected when we published a provisional agenda for the Social Media Summit, we are having to make some changes as we get closer to next week's event.

But the changes are to accommodate some very significant additional speakers that will make the day unmissable.

The New York Times' Social Media Editor, Liz Heron, is now coming to talk about how her newsroom engages with the social web, and how it drives innovation. Audioboo's Mark Rock and Storyful's Mark Little will be here to give their views on how entrepreneurs can influence editorial development. And Al Jazeera's Esra Dogramaci will talk about how it uses social media in covering the 'Arab Spring'.





The full agendaalso allows time for a substantial discussion at the end of the day that we hope will help to shape the next steps of social media engagement for mainstream media.

We want to involve everyone in that discussion, whether they have been able to make it to the event in person or are following it on social media.

We will of course be tweeting the entire day on @BBCCollege - and we'll also be uploading videos of all the sessions on the College of Journalism website.

But we will also be offering extended summaries of each session that we'll post to the College of Journalism blog - and we hope that anyone who wants to make substantial contributions to the conversation will do so by commenting on the blog.

I'll blog more about this next week - but, to get a head start, if you haven't already registered to comment on the blog you can do so now. It doesn't take long.

We'll be posting thoughts from some of the key speakers in the run up to the event, and there'll be more information about the details of the event; so stay tuned.

Finally, we have a handful of spare tickets. Some of you have already tweeted us asking if there were any returns, so we'll be getting back to you shortly. If you haven't and would like to come, tweets us now.
