ABOUT

Hundreds of communicators are making social media work inside their organizations ... and they’re all coming to Chicago in September.

Don’t you want to be there as well?

Let’s face it: The debate is over. Social media and Web 2.0 tools aren’t going away. The time for theories is over. The time for best practices, case studies andlessons learned is here. That’s what this conference is about. Come to this event and learn:

  • How to incorporate the latest tools into your overall communication strategy—without overloading your various audiences
  • How companies like H&R Block are rebuilding their entire intranets and Web sites in order to showcase Web 2.0 tools, applications and strategies
  • How organizations are tapping into the power of social networking to establish closer, more vital relationships with their internal and external audiences
  • What’s around the corner: Once you master blogs, podcasts and message boards, what’s the next thing you need to do in order to stay ahead of the curve?
  • How the communicator’s role is changing: The traditional ‘publisher’ model is dying, and if you don’t want your career to die with it, you need to embrace and start using the new tools
  • How to build social media components into your strategic communication plan, so that you don’t fall into the trap of doing social media “just because everybody else is”
