Incoming IABC Chair Warren Bickford has issued a call to action for communicators attending IABC’s annual international conference in Washington, DC, next month …
… to blog the conference sessions:
[…] Your mission, should you choose to accept it, will be to become a roving Caf reporter and post “reviews” of the sessions you attend or comment on anything else of interest that happens to you at the conference. . . . dramatic spark and puff of smoke!
A great call, Warren! I won’t be at the conference, unfortunately, otherwise I’d definitely be blogging it. Which leads to an observation – I hope the conference hotel has wi-fi everywhere so that bloggers actually can blog those sessions. If so, then blogging (and RSS) can make the event.
One suggestion – ask everyone to include a Technorati tag in their posts which will then make it dead easy for anyone to find those posts. The same with photos – do a Flickr tag, assuming everyone will upload their pics to that service.
The IABC conference takes place from 26-29 June. One late but most welcome addition to the conference programme is the Blogs: the hot new tool for corporate communicators discussion panel moderated by Debbie Weil. Some great panelists already. Hopefully, that panel will grow to include a blogger or two who’s an IABC member.
