Measurement.ie Conference

Date: 13 February 2013, Dublin

If you are still trying to get to grips with measuring the impact of social media then check out Measurement.ie. One reason I would attend would be to hear John Bell who leads Ogilvy?s global social media and business solutions practice.

While this is not a full conference I have added this event as there all too few events on digital marketing in Northern Ireland. This event is hosted by the Chartered Institute of Marketing and the CIPR. M?irne Laffan, Managing Director of RT? Digital will be talking about the journey RTE have taken and how they put content at the heart of their digital strategy.

Be prepared to be attending with hundreds of others as there are around 500 industry professionals attending.//

Employer Branding Summit UK

Date: 19 March 2013, London

//

I have a passion for employer branding from my time as an SVP Human Resources so I had to include this event. Your brand is expressed through every touch point and when it comes to your employer brand, when delivered effectively, it can assist in attracting and retaining the talent you need to help achieve your business goals.

If you are a large organisation and interested in employer branding then check out the forthcoming Employer Branding summit taking place in the UK. Speakers include representatives from organisations including Siemens, Adidas, Volvo, Rolls-Royce, Ernst and Young and Barclays. I am surprised not to see digital and integrated communications more prominently on the agenda given how much it featured in the HR conferences and events I spoke at and moderated last year, though there is a session on ?Building market reach and engagement though your digital employer brand strategy?. The event is sponsored by TMP Worldwide.

Date: 27-27 March 2013, London

The Social Media Measurement and Monitoring Conference is facilitated by Our Social Times and Chinwag and is both a workshop and a conference focusing on social media measurement and monitoring. I am delighted to see my friend and one of the foremost authorities on metrics and measurement KD Paine is speaking again this year.

Fundraising.ie National Conference

Date: 27 March 2013, Dublin

//

As a previous chair of a non profit, I know how important fundraising is to help you achieve the goals of the organisation. Social media has a key role to play in building awareness and helping non profits attract more volunteers and advocates and its a topic that we cover for non profit communications managers who attend the social media communications programme I deliver.

This year the National Conference for Fundraising.ie is incorporating social edia on their agenda with a session called ?Using social media to bring teams together ? The ability to communicate through social media is cutting through the barriers that can exist between Fundraising and Communications functions within charities?.
