Topic: Crisis Management
Speaker: Alex Plaxen
Registration is $400 per person
When a crisis occurs at our events, it is our responsibility to be prepared to communicate with our attendees and stakeholders. We need to make sure there is a crisis communications plan, spokespeople are trained to respond in the moment, and that we are ready to communicate to our attendees across multiple platforms including social media. Being prepared ultimately comes down to developing a communications plan that includes three things:
1) Auditing vulnerabilities
2) Training spokespeople
3) Establishing means of communicating
In this course, we will answer your burning questions about how to use social media and other forms of communication when it really matters. The basic steps of effective crisis communications are not difficult, but they require advance work to minimize risk and damage. Learn how to create a communications plan for your event and make critical decisions for your organization. Never be caught unprepared again!
