Introduction

Blogging to promote “wide open” communications
Presenter: Rich Marcello

Organizations, regardless if measured in tens, hundreds, or thousands, work best when teams feel empowered. Executive blogging creates a way to share thought process, inviting dialogue that’s non-hierarchical. In today’s virtual world, where teams span continents, blogging lets leaders share information that complements the usual top-down communications with more informal conversations. Learn how open styles empower teams in new ways.

9:45 a.m. - 10:45 a.m.
Using audio and video to deliver your message online
Presenter: Claudia Snell

Pod casting and video casting are quickly becoming common online communication tools. Learn what it means to be a content developer (to do some production on your own) as well as how to effectively work with production professionals.

10:45 a.m. - 11 a.m.
Break

11 a.m. - 11:45 a.m.
Blogging as a Networking Tool
Presenter: Diane K. Danielson

Social networks, blogging and other online endeavors are changing how we network and do business. While online networking does not replace in-person and face-to-face relationships, Diane will demonstrate how it’s another tool to help build networks across geographic and demographic borders. From basic online etiquette to how to build a professional image on line, she looks at what’s “in” and what’s “out” for networking in 2007.

11:45 a.m. - noon
