Here’s What People Are Saying About Ragan Social Media Conference 2017

The first day of the Ragan Social Media Conference 2017 has ended with several topics under consideration by attendees. Hopefully the most talked-about subject will be how to cultivate effective storytelling. Ragan social media conference 2017 is held at Hilton Austin in Austin, Texas. Days after the resignation of Mike Dubke as White House communications director, there’s a lot of buzz surrounding Sean Spicer’s upcoming appearance. Spicer was notoriously criticized by the media for his mistruths and misleading statements during his time as press secretary for President Donald Trump. It remains to be seen how he will be received by the audience at this Ragan social media conference 2017.

The Ragan Social Media Conference is set against the backdrop of an administration where public officials seem to struggle with telling the truth, (i.e.: “alternative facts.”) But whatever happens, the news media will be watching. The Ragan Social Media Conference 2017 is a unique opportunity to hear from a communications expert about how to tell your story on social media in light of the current climate. 

Every keynote speaker and session highlights one thing: You can have all the social media platforms and content in the world, but without a compelling story, it’s just noise that no one wants to listen to. We have covered some of these tips in previous posts on storytelling, knowing that they are important components of any successful marketing campaign or business development strategy.
