Welcome to the 10th Annual Strategic Internal Communications Conference. In this fast-paced forum, you'll get to know your fellow peers, their biggest internal communications challenges, and a few fun facts.

Details coming soon!

"Generative AI" has infiltrated media newsrooms, marketing departments, and public relations offices. Why not internal communication? Can't find the image you need from your stock photo service? Create it from whole cloth using a graphics generator. Need to crank out a bunch of personnel announcements but don't have the time (or patience)? Let a text generator help. Soon you will even be able to produce video with nothing more than a text prompt. In this eye-opening session, communications technology evangelist Shel Holtz will demonstrate some of these tools and explain how they can augment your current communication efforts.

You will learn:

• The scope of tools available and what they are capable of
• How these tools work and why they don't violate the IP rights of artists or authors
• How to craft a text prompt that will produce just what you're looking for
• Why you should not view the advance of generative AI as a threat to your job (or the jobs of any of your suppliers)

While you enjoy complimentary coffee, tea, and other refreshments our sponsor will present to you a bonus session. Solutions for employees that don't sit at a desk.

Enjoy complimentary coffee, tea, and other refreshments as you network with your peers. Be sure to stop by and visit your sponsors and be sure to fill out your evaluation forms.
