The 2010 Ragan Speechwriters Conference
I’m off this week to the 2010 Ragan Speechwriters Conference in Washington DC. It’ll be my fourth conference and the second one at which I’ve presented. As in 2009, I’ll be podcasting interviews with attendees and presenters and grabbing some video with my Flip video camera to post to YouTube. It all fits with the theme of my own presentation, scheduled for 8:30amFriday:
Using social media tools to magnify the impact of your speech
Do you want to augment the power of your client’s speech before, during and after the presentation? Social media tools such as Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube, Twitter and blogs offer exciting and effective ways to boost mindshare–if you leverage them correctly. The online audience for a talk can be many times the size of, and as important as, the audience in the room. Ignore social media at your peril.
After attending this workshop you will know:
• Ways to create “buzz” in advance of a speaking event using blogs, Facebook and Twitter
• How to easily record the audio and video of a speech using low-cost, portable equipment
• The risks and rewards of engaging an audience in an online conversation— while the presenter is on-stage
• How to leverage the viral power of podcasts and video to reach a global audience
• The power of integrating Social Media tools to wow your Internet audience
A full preview is available at this Presentation Home Page.

Ian, I hope you got the message before departing that the conference was postponed due to the snow in D.C.
