Session Description: This session is for the practitioners (and researchers who specialize in this area) to talk about a few key issues in IMC today. Questions will appear on the screen to encourage thoughtful reflection on: 1) Internal Communications: Challenges and Best Practices, 2) How to Recruit Good Employees, in a variety of roles, and 3) Retention of your best team members: Ideas and Challenges.
Rather than a structured panel session, we will leave you to chat together openly and honestly about these topics, as well as any others that may come to mind that you all seem to face. With participants representing brands across multiple industries, this discussion should prove enlightening and hopefully elicit some takeaways for all. An audience will watch this ~45-minute discussion without interrupting and will draft questions for a debrief/Q&A at the end. Insights from this discussion could be used to (anonymously) inform academic research related to internal communication in public relations and/or to inform the development of modules and topics for our new special topics course: IMC 580: Internal Communication and Employee Engagement, which was created as a result of the 2022 IMC Connect!

Beyond the days of traditional press releases presented to news outlets in manilla folders, what does media relations look like? What is the role of traditional media today, and how do journalism and public relations intersect? What trends related to this topic might communications professionals need to know in 2023?

Panel Description: Don't have time to find and comb through a 30-page academic article in an obscure journal? Researchers will share the best, most important thing that they have found (or read) lately from academic literature that could help practitioners in the field. The sky is the limit for this session, and the idea is to learn all that we can about some pretty complex IMC topics in manageable, bite-sized snippets: just 5 minutes each. Hosted in a game-show style format, the pressure is on, as the timer counts down and all of those research findings must be condensed into a couple of key takeaways.
2:00-2:50 p.m. | Networking Break

Panel Description: IMC students have heard and read many of the horror stories that often unfold virally, on a global stage, where crises appear seemingly out of nowhere and majorly impact brands' reputations as well as their financial returns. We want to hear from you: The good, the bad, and the ugly. This panel will facilitate discussion on crisis management and how to help your brand come out of these situations, if not smelling like roses, at least in the best possible way. Experts will share anecdotal stories from their own experiences working for large brands (and possibly smaller ones) and coach students on best practices, things that worked, and most of all "WHAT NOT TO DO!"
3:50-4:00 p.m. | Networking Break
4:00-4:50 p.m. I Panel 4: The Best Idea You Ever Had: Sharing Success Stories from IMC Experts | Student Union Ballroom
Participants: Marti Powers, Jeff Motley, Elizabeth Whittington, Jennifer Anderson, & Malcolm Berkley
Panel Description: Panelists will think back over the course of their careers to narrow down 1-2 of their biggest wins of all time. Please share, in great detail, what made this innovative idea, new practice, experiment, campaign, or project such a hit. It can be from any season in your career and should provide some tangible "lessons learned" to those who hope to follow in your footsteps someday. Consider this a chance to brag--we are all ears!
