We've designed Executing Social Media for Internal Communications to present an overview of how some companies are using the new tools to communicate, share knowledge, build relationships and collaborate more powerfully. But it's a brave new social media world behind the firewalls. This is the conference to learn which of the new tools make the most sense for your organization and low-risk ways to introduce them. The include employee morale in a down economy, engaging diverse and far-flung employees across generations, how to blend old and new communication channels, leveraging front-line supervisors, and much more. There will be "economy-driven" topics, but also plenty of sessions that will give you the edge on what's next, and what you need to be doing this year to deliver more value and ROI from your social media - internal communications efforts.
