Ignite Boise 3: Proposals Due

Time is running out.

If you’ve been reading the Idaho Ad Agencies blog for any time, you know that we’ve covered the previous two Ignite Boise events.  And Ignite Boise 3 will be no exception.

But before we can tell you all about the event, you’ll have to do your part and submit your speaker proposal.

It’s not tough to do.  Just a short paragraph that covers what you’d like to speak about.  No slides are due at this point — just an idea.  If selected, then comes the work of putting together the full presentation.

But don’t wait.  Submissions for Ignite Boise 3 are due by 5:00pm on Friday, October 9th.

UPDATE: The event location is now confirmed (see below), and we got word this morning that this is now SOLD OUT.

Among other things, the transition from summer to fall means that it’s once again time for the local professional organizations to ramp up their events and activities.

Case in point:

PRSA Idaho is holding their first fall meeting on Tuesday, October 6th from 11:45 – 1:15: Social Media Marketing and Integrated Campaign Planning.

During this discussion-based program, we will address varying degrees of roles for social media in an integrated PR/communications campaign. Topics to be explored include:

  • Social media strategy—How to keep it consistent with the umbrella strategy
  • How to use social media to achieve campaign goals
  • Traditional vs. 2.0—when is one methodology more effective than the other?
  • When is too much too much?
  • Social media measurement—Tools and tips

Also included will be a review of the “What’s the Real Cost” campaign from Regence, the “Stay on Trails” campaign from Idaho Forest Service, BLM and Idaho Parks & Recreation, and the “Cruising the Loop” family trip from Idaho Department of Tourism.
