PRSA National asked us to do some social media/guest blogging to help give PRSA members a sense of the PRSA 2009 International Conference: Delivering Value, and San Diego (we’re hosting it).
I was tapped to take the lead partially because I immerse myself in social media (it’s the bulk of what my firm does) and because I’m relatively new to San Diego. Here just two years, I still remember what it was like before I lived in paradise.
Instead of the normal glossy brochure blah, blah (you’ll get plenty from other marketing pieces), my four-person team will tap social media tools and our “local” status to texturize the Conference setting and activities to consider. That in mind, I created a “locals” photo sampler highlighting noteworthy elements.
In later posts, we’ll provide Google Maps of the hotel area and amenities, commentary from Conference “insiders”, maybe even a spoof on what’s being presented.
It’s a conference, after all. Part’s for work/learning/networkingand part’s for fun.
