In Session

What is an important, timely issue that we communicators should be discussing?

Here’s an opportunity for you to suggest a topic — and get conference attendees talking about it!

I’m leading a “hot topic session” on Monday morning, June 23. As you’ll see from the description, we deliberately left the choice of topic open, so we can focus on something timely that affects us as communicators. It will be totally interactive — an opportunity to debate, challenge, explore opportunities and brainstorm solutions.

So what do you think? What should we discuss? Post your suggestions here. Then, keep watching and, as ideas come in, share your thoughts on them.

Oh, don’t forget to join us first thing on June 23rd for what promises to be an eye-opening discussion.

This is the title of my session at the NY conference on 22 June - as important input I’m asking fellow professionals to take a few moments to give me their views on measurement via a short survey. The link is below and I would be grateful if you could take a few moments to respond.

Hello IABCers!

I hope you are looking forward to another International Conference as much as I am. And in the Big Apple! I think this might be my 27th International Conference that I will be addressing.

I don’t know what my favorite topic is, but I have always enjoyed teaching feature writing. Now I get a chance to talk about it to you. I’m excited.

One other word. I wish all the Mizzou graduates could gather even if ever so briefly. It’s always great to see Mizzou folks!
