SMi Group reports: Social Media in the Defence and Military Sector will hold two pre-conference workshops on 19th November in London

SMi's 9th annual Social Media in the Defence & Military Sector is set to commence on 20th - 21st November in London. With an agenda full of comprehensive briefings from military and industry specialists involved in tactical military operations, strategic communications, defence marketing, recruitment and more, this edition is expected to be the best yet.

This year, two insightful pre-conference workshops focusing on Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality and Digital Transformation will be taking place on Tuesday 19th November.

Workshop A, Audience Engagement Through Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality, will be led by Pat O'Connor, Managing Director, VRAI.

Workshop Overview:

Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are providing new ways to engage audiences in a deep and meaningful way. VR can transport the audience to remote environments and experience events that they could only have previously imagined. AR can enhance the physical world around them and allow interaction that was previously impossible.

The research around Generation Z has shown that they seek experiences over material goods. This generation of potential recruits expect to have the opportunity to experience life in your organisation before they ever decide to join.

Social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram and Snapchat now encourage the use of AR, 360 video and VR content, therefore, professional communicators must be aware of this new technology and how best to use it.

Regardless of the medium, the best content stands out and ‘content is king'. Learn how to utilise VR & AR content and where it can fit into your communication strategy.

The brochure, with the full conference and workshop agenda, is available to download online at: www.militarysocialmedia.com/roboticstomorrow3

Workshop B, Digital Transformation in Government Communications, will be led by Steven Mehringer, Digital Transformation, SME.

Workshop Overview:

The continual evolution of the global information environment requires all international organisations and governments to embrace communications change. In this workshop Steven will focus on the best practices for effective communications, how international entities are managing their digital transformations and the future of communications that must be prepared for including AI, DeepFakes technology, virtual reality and more, in an increasingly complicated communications landscape.

For those who would like to attend the conference on the 20th and 21st November, a saving of £100 is available for bookings placed before 30th September. Registrations can be made online at www.militarysocialmedia.com/roboticstomorrow3
