Earlier this evening, Marketwire announced an upcoming PR University audio conference tackling the use of social media and Web 2.0 in internal communications. If you have a communications department willing to foot the $299 bill (for an unlimited number of attendees), it might be worth checking out.
The conference, which will take place on October 22 and include presentations by four leading communications professionals, will explore some of these burning questions:
- How do social media tools like Facebook and LinkedIn help—or hinder—employee communications, particularly in an era where there are no more gatekeepers of information?
- How does internal or employee social media usage impact PR, IR, HR, IT and even Legal?
- How can your company customize these platforms to suit its needs?
- How do today’s tech-savvy companies use YouTube, wikis, podcasts, Intranets, employee blogs and other Web 2.0 channels to foster and drive employee engagement?
- How can Twitter and other micro-blogging platforms help teams manage events or handle real-time logistics more effectively?
- And what are the country’s top companies doing to encourage and enable staff to engage in social media in the most productive, responsible and even Reg FD-compliant manner?
