Event Description
Today's luncheon speaker also kicks off the IABC 2009 Southern Region Conference!
The revolution in social communication picks up steam every day. But this revolution need not be feared: as it pervades the world of business, it provides amazing opportunities for communicators to expand their skills while making a difference for customers. In this session veteran journalist, marketer, and social media maven Tim Walker will explain "what works now" for companies that are using blogs, Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and other forms of social media to get business done -- and how social business, by its very nature, calls for the skills of expert business communicators more than ever before.
