Social Media within the Military & Defence Sector October 16, 2011

SMi's 2011 conference in Social Media within the Military and Defence Sector aims to provide an in-depth knowledge of how the military from the US and Europe use social media tools.

Social Media has been used in numerous ways by the military globally, and this conference will address the key security issues the military have to face when dealing with social media platforms.
With huge military budget cuts, social media has been welcomed as a great cost saving tool. Many armed forces use social media as a tool to drive recruitment, especially in the UK marketplace. This conference will address how the different forces use social media to benefit their recruitment push and provide results and case studies to show and analyse their results.

The defence industry has also embraced social media platforms, which are used for Corporate Communications, Branding, PR, Marketing and Product Launches. Through detailed and knowledgeable presentations from the senior communications personnel, delegates will be able to leave the conference with a greater understanding of how best to use social media and implement these ideas into their own communication strategies.
