Interactive Workshop: Crisis Communications In A Social Media World
In this new presentation,

global crisis communications expert Donald Steel explores how Air Asia effectively used social media after the loss of one of its aircraft with the death of all on board. He will explore how social media has changed crisis communications, and the new rules which must be followed on social media in a crisis. Then,
in a fully interactive exercise, delegates are invited to work in teams to deal with a fictitious but very serious emergency.
Focussing mostly on social media, but with some traditional media elements, delegates will be invited to take decisions and create social media posts. The decisions each team makes will either assist other teams or create serious problems for them. What will you decide in this fast moving workshop which are always popular at P World events?
