Everything a Meeting Planner Should Know
Perry Binder, J.D.
MPI Platinum Program Speaker, 2009-2010
Presented at MPI Meet Different 2009
Conference
SESSION DESCRIPTION
(45 minutes-1 hour)
Someone just created mySpace and Twitter pages, and a blog which are all critical of a company's event that you are planning. Even worse, you discover that it might be a current employee who is anonymously posting unflattering and possibly libelous comments about company executives on these sites. Then, much to your dismay, you find company trade secrets posted anonymously on one of these sites. What is a Meeting Planner to do? This cutting-edge, hilarious, and practice-oriented session will: 1) educate you on social networking (especially Facebook, Twitter, and mySpace) and blogging legal cases, 2) explain the ramifications of your company’s actions, 3) reference specific PR blunders and success stories and, 4) suggest useful tips on communicating with employees and the online general public.
Session Outline will be e-mailed upon request, along with Perry's article entitled Responding to Employee Blogs (published in HR Executive magazine)
