63rd PASCD ConferenceNovember 2-4, 2013Conference Committee Meeting

Marketing and Communications Strategy Timeframe

Conference website Updated regularly

New conference dates and information announced in the PASCD newsletter

March 1

Various conference announcements about registration, keynote speakers, virtual conference, small group session titles, etc. via eLinks, PennLinks, Facebook, Twitter, BSN group emails, and our website

NOTE: Although I am going to market the conference regularly, I have to be VERY careful not to market too much via email or the announcements will begin looking like spam. Once we get flagged as spam, it is very difficult to get any of our organization’s messages out to the public.

Weekly announcements from one or more of these media outletsMarch 18 to October 18th

Online and paper-based conference registration officially available via our website

Opens on April 4

Paper registration forms mailed to target audience Coming out very soonPASCD Regional president’s challenge? TBD?
