Join us for a follow-up from last year’s popular program with new insight and regulations you need to know to best serve your clients.

Social media provides a diverse and powerful tool that cuts across PR and marketing, but also provides numerous opportunities for missteps and blunders.  If you attend you will learn how to: Handle defamation and bad reputations online; protect your company’s IP online and avoid infringement of others’ IPs; and learn how social media issues affect highly-regulated industries; as well as employment; advertising; and privacy issues related to social media activities.
