This monthly get together is an easy way to maximize your membership and get to know other SMPS members. Each month we’ve chosen a topic with the goal of sparking discussion, and sharing lessons learned and best practices. This event is free for members and your first drink is on us. In addition, if you have a friend who is interested in learning more about SMPS, please bring them along!
This month's topic is From Expertise to Influence - Creating Content that Connects. How do you create content that builds credibility, strengthens relationships, and connects with your audience? We’ll explore thought leadership, project and employee storytelling, social media, newsletters, video, engaging technical staff, repurposing content, and measuring success. Bring your questions, challenges, and ideas for an open exchange with fellow A/E/C professionals.
1 CPSM CEU is available for this program.
