What should I be talk about at a social media conference?

Posted on May 10, 2008 by Benjamin Koe

I’ve been invited by the PR Academy, a division of the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts (MICA), Singapore to be on a panel discussing the challenges of communicating in the new media environment at the 7th Annual PR Academy Conference on the 22nd of May 2008.

I’m quite excited about this although MICA is a little late to the new (social?) media table. But, better late than never ya? I’m probably the youngest member of the speaking group and there’s already an expectation from the organisers that my opinions will be vastly different from the rest.

I don’t think you can plan for a forum discussion except to speak about what I’ve seen and heard. I do hope that I’ll be able to share something interesting at the table. I’m thinking I should bring up some examples of what’s been going on in the local social media scene.

Any good examples that I should be sharing?

    Perhaps share your take on the “new media” efforts by various govt agencies in the past two years. How do you view them both as a PR practitioner and also a likely target audience of their new media efforts.

    Thanks Ivan. There’s just so much going on in both govt and corporates. Want to be able to share the good stuff in the short time i have. =)
