As a communicator, you understand that different channels reach different audiences.

Using a combination of case studies and discussion, this presentation will illustrate best practices surrounding the use of social media for internal and external audiences.

Throughout the session you will glean tips and tricks for easily incorporating social media, including how to plan, schedule, and measure social media messages. Join us and learn about:

  • Cultivating relationships with virtual leaders
  • Understanding the social media audience
  • Starting personal dialogue
  • Learning to let go
  • Creating a smart social media policy
  • Learning from mistakes
  • Converting traditional event leadership into virtual event leadership
