Featured Presentation:
Even before the Trump era, news was breaking first on social media, with traditional media sweeping Twitter, Facebook, Instagram and YouTube for leads. Whether your organization is immersed in crisis or dealing with a hot-button issue, your news can easily “go viral.”

Since it takes a lifetime to build a reputation and only a few seconds to destroy one, “managing the message” is a necessary skill-set.  This fast-paced talk by veteran crisis management and communications specialist Stephanie York, from Hennes Communications in Cleveland, Ohio, will focus on a highly strategic approach to communicating during a wide variety of situations.

Learning Objectives:

 

  • Methods for establishing and maintaining “control of the message”
  • Serve the needs of your stakeholders
  • Move your message forward or mount a defense against a sudden onslaught from traditional or social media

Presenter:  

Stephanie H. York serves as vice president and in-house counsel at Hennes Communications, one of the few firms in the U.S. focused exclusively on crisis communications and crisis management.

She brings 25 years of legal, governmental, hospital, political, digital media and public relations experience to the agency. York heads up the firm’s satellite office, in the heart of downtown Akron, Ohio.
