Invitation: Social Media World Caf on Tuesday 14 August 2012 in Pretoria

The use of Social Media (think Facebook, Twitter etc.) has already impacted our personal lives... As a stakeholder engagement practitioner, chances are that you have also experienced the power of Social Media on your communication processes and have had to manage it (sometimes even unexpectedly). With increasingly computer literate audiences and the use of smartphones with various easy-access applications, the public is making use of communication channels that are literally at their fingertips not only to access, but to share information & also to voice their opinion online to their network and via that network to others. The time has come to think about Social Media and how easy access to advanced communication technology is influencing your public participation processes. Join fellow practitioners to discuss and explore this topic over a cup of coffee/tea at the Social Media World Caf hosted by IAP2 SA and facilitated by Toni Pietersen, President of IAP2SA and internationally certified public participation trainer.
