Digital innovations and social media has a strong impact on the socio-economic development of societies and organizations. The ICTM 2022 conference focuses on that impact in multiple facets. The ever-growing importance of social media and digital innovations demonstrates their growing importance for people. The application of social media and digital innovations has created new, unprecedented opportunities and challenges concerning their design, usage and impact on the society, organizations and individuals.
