Chicago, Ill. /Palo Alto, Calif. (PRWEB) September 22, 2006 -- The new tools of social media are changing the way organizations communicate with their employees, investors, media and other audiences. But most companies are lagging behind in these business-critical innovations.
For them, there is the 3rd Annual New Communications Forum.
This year’s conference and expo, the largest yet, will take place March 7-9, 2007, at the Venetian Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nev. The conference is co-sponsored by Lawrence Ragan Communications (www.ragan.com), the leading publisher and trainer in corporate communications, public relations, speechwriting and web content management; and the Society for New Communications Research (http://www.sncr.org), a nonprofit global think tank dedicated to the advanced study of new media and emerging modes of communication.
New Communications Forum was founded in 2005 and quickly gained a reputation as one of the world's leading conferences focusing on blogs, wikis, RSS, podcasts, videocasts and other emerging media and communications platforms. New Communications Forum is a focused conference specifically designed to teach PR, marketing, advertising and media professionals how to harness the power of new media tools for corporate branding and internal and external communications.
The forum provides an in-depth, hands-on exploration of the future of communications. Presenters and instructors are senior professionals from around the world and journalists from leading media outlets, all of whom have pioneered the use of these new tools and technologies.
New Communications Forum 2007 conference tracks will include:
· New Approaches to Internal Corporate Communications
· New Trends & Strategies for PR & External Communications
· The New World of Marketing & Advertising
· New Media & the New Face of Journalism
