Dear Communication Colleagues,

In this cost-focused, value-centric business economy, nobody is safe from the profound scrutiny surrounding overhead and cost centers in the enterprise. As professional strategic communicators, it’s essential that we deliver value everyday. Our ability to get things done is under consistent scrutiny, and nobody cares how many artifacts we’ve produced. We need quantitative and qualitative proof that we add meaning to our fellow employees, our shareholders and our current and prospective customers. Or better yet - all of the above.

This is the focus of this summer’s Strategic Internal Communications Conference. Within the evolving worlds of social media and traditional media and both employee and customer expectations, there is no better time than now to learn from leading thinkers and fellow colleagues about how to revitalize your work.

This conference will focus on the issue of value and the roles of communications and employee engagement. We will learn about cutting-edge models and methodologies and hear about some of the best case studies in our industry. We will have the opportunity to experience creative work and ask questions of our speakers as well as one another -- and yes, we will have fun throughout the entire event.

By attending this year’s conference, you will hear proven strategies, firsthand, from leading organizations, on how to revitalize your communications, including how:

• Cox Communications uses internal communications to keep their
  employees informed and engaged
• Peet's Coffee & Tea, Inc. aligns their employees to a clear vision
  to fuel and support company growth
• Coldwell Banker Real Estate focuses their messages to cut through the clutter and deliver key messages effectively – including the use of social media
