Dear Communication Colleagues,

In this challenging economic climate, many organizations are struggling to remain focused on achieving their business objectives. The good news is that today’s professional strategic communicators can play a critical role in building this much-needed focus. To accomplish this, it’s essential that we deliver real value each and every day. No one cares how much “stuff” we produce—we need to prove that we’re creating the communication systems, tools and culture that will help employees better understand the business and take the actions necessary to drive business results.

This is the focus of the Strategic Internal Communications Conference, November 15–18, 2010. As the business landscape continues to shift and new employee and customer expectations take shape, our approach to communication—and to measuring its impact—must evolve if we are to remain vital business partners within our organizations. There’s no better time than now to learn from leading thinkers and fellow colleagues about how to revitalize your work.

The conference will feature a mix of thought leaders and seasoned practitioners who will share their innovations and lessons learned, with an emphasis on harnessing the power of social media to drive employee communication and engagement. We will learn about cutting-edge models and methodologies and hear about some of the best case studies within our discipline. We’ll 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 conference, you will hear proven strategies, firsthand, from leading organizations, on how to revitalize your internal communications, including how:

• The Walt Disney Company’s On The Inside news channel and engagement strategy is building employee engagement while changing behavior
• Grainger uses social media vehicles internally to advance the dialogue
• NASA Langley Research Center is integrating internal quantitative and qualitative culture assessments to define an internal storyline with the training, resources and materials employees need to convey it
