Oct 26: The Strategist’s Roadmap to Social Technology: Becoming a Connected Communicator
| October 26, 2011 | ||
| 11:30 am | to | 1:00 pm |
As social technologies change the way we communicate and engage with our audiences, a gap is emerging between their technical application and the strategic decision-making that drives any effective campaign. As strategists, we have an opportunity to embrace the strategic potential of online communities, and use other resources to better understand our audiences, listen to them, and join existing conversations rather than start our own. Employers are looking to the digital native generation to help them lead their efforts in the digital realm, but those digital natives may need a push to help any organization fully realize the benefits of a social strategy.
Drawing from Brian Solis's book, "Engage", Clay Shirky's classic "Here Comes Everybody", and Marty Neumeier's classic book on branding, Ann Christiano will lead a discussion on how we use social technology as strategists.
Ann Christiano is Professor and Frank Karel Chair in Public Interest Communications at the University of Florida. She is a social change professional with almost 20 years experience in strategic communications, policy engagement and media relations.
Register by 11 a.m. Monday, Oct. 24. IABC will try to accommodate walk-ins, but space is limited; and walk-ins will be charged $5 in addition to the registration price.
September 28th Program: Meet the Coordinator of the 2012 Republic National Convention
| September 28, 2011 | ||
| 11:30 am | to | 1:00 pm |
Attendees of IABC’s September luncheon are in for a treat because this month’s guest speaker is a prominent local and national figure. Ken Jones, president and CEO of the Host Committee for next year’s Republican National Convention in Tampa, will speak at our Sept. 28th luncheon at the Tampa Club. He’ll discuss the opportunities that will be created for our city as Tampa Bay hosts this major event.
The 2012 Tampa Bay Host Committee has two main goals:
1. To raise the funds needed to host the Republican National Convention in Tampa in August 2012 and relieve the burden on local governments;
2. To promote the Tampa Bay area before, during and after the convention to ensure our region capitalizes on this tremendous economic development opportunity.
Ken will speak about the convention planning and the resulting opportunities for businesses like yours.
