The naysayers have been silenced by the early adopters’ successes, and social media users and advocates have reached critical mass.

Few social media recruitment practitioners have had greater success than Shahid Wazed. Shahid revolutionized the recruiting industry by bringing “care” back into recruitment with the City of Edmonton Jobs page on Facebook, which won two prestigious awards in just a year and a half: • Standard of Excellence Award from the New Media Institute in New York • Thomas H. Muehlenbeck Award for Excellence in Local Government, from Alliance for Innovation. Shahid will share his research, experiences, and practices in recruitment, and discuss how the lessons learned can be applied to other areas where social media practitioners must identify, find, and engage an audience. Concurrent Session A2 Case Study: Using Social Media to Support Live Events Aaron Furfaro, Communications Advisor, Public Health Ontario You may not be involved with a high profile international event like the Winter Olympics, but social media can be very effective in sup porting any live event.

Leanne Labelle and Jeannine Ritchot will tell the story of this major shift in communications strategy. Focusing on chronic disease prevention, PHAC developed a digital approach to explore innovation and consider new ways to deliver its message.

Pop up stores appear for a few weeks or months, only to disappear shortly after the Boxing Day frenzy. Perhaps you’ve even seen a high end designer pop-up boutique, or an exclusive restaurant featuring a celebrity chef, but a pop-up embassy? Why not?! Trevor Kerr will discuss the thinking behind the British High Commission’s pop-up embassy, the role social media played in getting the word out, and the results and lessons learned. 3:45 p.m. Plenary Session 5 Social Media and Emergency Response Steve Ladurantaye, Head of Canadian News, Government and Political Partnerships, Twitter Inc. Larissa Barlow, Communications Specialist, Town of Banff One of the areas where social media has demonstrated proven util ity and value is in times of emergency and crisis. In the event of a natural disaster or other calamity, many turn first not to traditional media but to Twitter and other platforms—as radio and tv struggles to keep up with the instant, real time information that social pro vides. But social media can also be notoriously unreliable, as there is no filter or review of content. In this session, leading social media platform, Twitter, will share what they have learned from how their users have communicated and shared information in times of crisis. Larissa Barlow of the Town of Banff will complement this perspective with the story of how the town turned to social media during the recent flooding and the lessons they learned. 4:30 p.m. Closing Remarks from the Co-Chairs John Brewer, Executive Program Developer, The Conference Board of Canada Dr. Mary Francoli, Associate Professor, Carleton University 4:45 p.m. Day 1 Adjourns 7 Agenda DAY 2 / Tuesday, October 21, 2014 AT A GLANCE 7:30 a.m. 8:00 a.m. 8:15 a.m. 9:15 a.m. 10:00 a.m. Continental Breakfast Opening Remarks from the Co-Chairs Plenary Session 6 Plenary Session 7 Refreshment Break 10:15 a.m. Plenary Session 8 11:00 a.m. Plenary Session 9 11:30 a.m. Plenary Session 10 12:30 p.m. Closing Remarks from the Co-Chairs 12:45 p.m. Conference Adjourns 7:30 a.m. Continental Breakfast 8:00 a.m. Opening Remarks from the Co-Chairs John Brewer, Executive Program Developer, The Conference Board of Canada Dr. Mary Francoli, Associate Professor, Carleton University 8:15 a.m. Plenary Session 6 Social Media and Public Sector Transformation Laurette Sharpe, Manager, Corporate Communications, Municipal Property Assessment Corporation Sometimes the prospect of transformation can seem daunting, but what if you could achieve major change in just 100 days?

Coxon, Detective Sergeant, Toronto Police Service Over the last year, Shawna Coxon has been involved in a technol ogy project that assessed cyber threats and opportunities, and how to integrate open source information and best practices—including that of social media—into the organization. This process led to a complete overhaul of social media governance and training. “High quality speakers who stayed on topic with content-rich presentations.” Lori Harrop AAFC The main lesson was that, for all the technology involved, social media and cyber security are still human endeavors. Shawna will describe the process and consider the common challenges, such as: • identifying and developing the right people iving clear direction and guidance to everyone in the organization • g • making processes clear and efficient • the training people require • h elping people fully understand the opportunities and risks associated with their actions while using technology • measuring the outcome • d oing all of this, understanding that the technology will change tomorrow 11:00 a.m. Plenary Session 9 Understanding Your Audience: Google Strategies and Insights for the Public Sector Chris Adamkowski, Head, Government and Energy, Google Canada In this first of two sessions focussed on increasing customer and citizen engagement, Chris Adamkowski will provide an overview of how organizations in the public sector can gain a better under standing of their audience.

Communications strategist and writer Joe Boughner believes that to truly make any communications or marketing strategy work, engagement must be rigidly defined and ruthlessly measured in a way that makes sense to your unique business or organizational context. Looking at the notion of engagement through the lens of what your audience needs vs. what your audience wants, this presentation offers up a new way of defining engagement as delivering moments of unexpected delight that resonate at the level of the individual. It positions social media as a subset of your overall marketing and communications mix, then discusses social media’s unique role in giving your audiences what they truly need. Drawing on experiences working with major Canadian brands such as Petro-Canada, Suncor and the Rotman School of Management, Joe will present a framework for defining your audience personas and mapping their interactions with your organizations with a par ticular focus on needs, wants and opportunities to deliver, complete with a measurement framework for defining success. Following this presentation, attendees will be able to: 1.Define their audience personas 2.Map the lifecycle of touchpoints with each persona, including key social interactions 3.Measure the success of each engagement 12:30 p.m. Closing Remarks from the Co-Chairs John Brewer, Executive Program Developer, The Conference Board of Canada Dr. Mary Francoli, Associate Professor, Carleton University 12:45 p.m. Conference Adjourns To register, visit www.conferenceboard.ca/conf 10 Registration REGISTER NOW ! www.conferenceboard.ca/conf • 1-800-267-0666 or 613-526-4249 Register now and save !
