Opening Keynote

9:05 AM WARRIOR DIPLOMATS: A VIEW FROM INSIDE U.S. SPECIAL OPERATIONSThe ability to communicate cross-culturally has long been touted as one of the hallmarks of strategic operators, and in multi-national, private-sector organizations. Today, professionals must be able to understand, engage, and convince people with profoundly different frames of references — audiences in different cultures. Celebrated missions have underscored the breadth and quality of the fighting skills of U.S. Special Operators. This session will explore what it means to be a “warrior diplomat,” and how to leverage engagement to win.Command Sergeant Major Patrick McCauley, Command Senior Enlisted Leader, U.S. SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND

CASE STUDY

9:45 AM CORE COMMUNCATION STRATEGIES FOR DEVELOPNG FUTURE LEADERSThe U.S. Air Force Academy isn’t just a premier center for higher-education. It's an academic and military institution that develops young men and women into the officers who will lead the nation’s armed forces. Kimberly Tebrugge leads communication for the Academy and its brand platform. She faces ever-present challenges to explain “what it is that we do, and how we do it.” This session shares insights how USAF leadership is turning to technology and communication strategy to drive results.Kimberly Tebrugge, Chief Communication Officer, U.S. AIR FORCE ACADEMY

C-SUITE PERSPECTIVE

11:15 AM UNLEASHING THE VOICE OF THE CEO IN A NEW ERA OF ACTIVISMWhen should, or should not a communications leader choose to unleash the voice of the CEO as part of its company’s narrative? Is the CEO a viable way of enhancing company reputation? What are the risks in making your CEO more vocal, transparent, and exposed to public opinion? Based on a robust study of 240,000 people and a thorough analysis of Global CEO and company reputation, this session will discuss the what, how, and when a company can gain the optimal benefit of CEO narrative and positively impact public discourse in an era of CEO Activism. Stephen Hahn-Griffiths, Chief Reputation Officer, REPUTATION INSTITUTE

12:00 PM LUNCHEON FOR SPEAKERS AND DELEGATES Constitution Hall Foyer and Terrace — American University

CYBER THREATS

1:00 PM TOOLS TO DEFEND AGAINST DISINFORMATION AND PROPAGANDA Cybercriminals are getting savvier, and it is getting harder to detect threats as bad actors exploit every possible weakness to steal from corporations and manipulate information. Getting in front of cyber threats and misinformation and raising awareness involves more robust efforts to “out” propaganda sources and the nature of their efforts. This session will offer specifics about how organizations can better compete on a digital battlefield. Christopher Paul, Senior Social Scientist, RAND CORPORATION and PARDEE RAND GRADUATE SCHOOL

CORPORATE DIPLOMACY1:40 PM UNLEASHING THE VOICE OF THE CEO IN A NEW ERA OF ACTIVISM

1:40 PM GLOBAL COMPANIES: NOT QUITE BUSINESS AS USUALThrough targeted engagement at a local level, some US states and multinational companies are pressing on with plans to build ties with China on everything from technology to climate change, despite geopolitical tensions. At the national government level, there may be issues to work out, but analysts seem to agree the world will continue to integrate, especially in manufacturing, communications, and technology.

TECHNOLOGY

2:40 PM ZILLOW GROUP: DISRUPTING THE DIGITAL STATUS QUOStarting in 2006 with little more than public data and some basic tools, Zillow Group today is an $8.4 billion company that includes multiple brands focusing on all stages of the home lifecycle: renting, buying, selling, financing, and home improvement. For the past decade, Katie Curnutte has led Zillow’s communications team and the company through periods of astonishing growth and acquisitions while maintaining the flexibility to navigate around the tech-driven disruption, enabling Zillow to top $1 billion in revenue for the first time in 2017 and become an unrivaled player within its industry. A Conversation With Katie Curnutte, Senior Vice President, Communications and Public Affairs, ZILLOW GROUPModerated by Matthew Doering, President and Senior Partner, GLOBAL GATEWAY ADVISORS

NON-PROFIT STRATEGIES

3:20 PM STAYING TRUE TO YOUR MISSION (IN UNCERTAIN TIMES)First 5 LA works on behalf of children 0-5 and their families in Los Angeles County who face significant risks and challenges to achieving their maximum physical and socio-emotional health and learning potential. In other words, making sure children enter kindergarten ready to succeed in school and life. As the primary owner of Frist 5 LA’s brand, Sanchez is lead storyteller and corporate communicator for the agency. This case study will identify how communication becomes a strategic enabler, including program design and approaches to serve target populations. Gabriel Sanchez, Director of Communications and Marketing, FIRST 5 LA

BRAND IDENTITY

3:55 PM HOW BEN & JERRY’S KEEPS SOCIAL PURPOSE ALIVEBen & Jerry's grew from a Vermont scoop shop opened in 1978 into an international ice cream maker that allocates 7.5% of its pretax profits to fund various projects. Today, Ben & Jerry's remains among the more outspoken brands on social issues, even though it is housed within a major public company. Along the way, Sean Greenwood has taken a serious interest in sharing the Ben & Jerry’s mission, that businesses can thrive when they lead with their values and consider more than simply making a profit.Sean Greenwood, Director of Public Relations and Communications, BEN & JERRY’S

MARKETING

4:15 PM COMPETING ON SOCIAL PURPOSEConsumers increasingly expect brands to provide more than just products and services. They expect organizations to fulfill a social purpose. As a result, brands increasingly use social purpose to guide marketing communications, inform product innovation, and steer investments. But missteps are common. Sometimes, they backfire because the messaging inadvertently angers or offends customers—or they simply go unnoticed because they fail to resonate. This session will explore frameworks for aligning a company’s social aspirations with its business needs and growth to create real value.ModeratorBob Pearson, Author and Senior Advisor, W2OPanelistsBarie Carmichael, Senior Counselor, APCO WORLDWIDESean Greenwood, Director of Public Relations and Communications, BEN & JERRY’S Ted Studdard, Divisional Staffing Manager, THE HOME DEPOT

OPENING KEYNOTE

8:50 AM BEST PRACTICES FOR MERGER AND ACQUISITION COMMUNICATIONTakeda completed its $62 billion acquisition of Shire Plc in January, one of the world’s biggest recent acquisitions, transforming the 237-year-old Japanese company into a top 10 pharma company. Good communication during M&A is essential. It needs to begin during preliminary stages to set the scene right through to post-merger integration issues. Done well, frequent communication respects both companies’ brands and cultures and can serve to accelerate growth. This session identifies the best ways to communicate mergers and acquisitions as well as mistakes to avoid. Tsuyoshi Tada, Head of Media Relations, Organizational, External and Corporate Communications & Public Affairs, TAKEDA PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY LTD.

GLOBAL STRATCOMM

9:30 AM THE LAW OF SMALL NUMBERSOnce the most powerful navy in the world, the Belgian Navy, is professional and effective, but in comparison to a bygone era, it is small, with a dozen ships and around 2,000 personnel. Like other organizations, changes in the political and social environment can have dramatic impacts. Out of necessity, the navy — a pioneer in Belgian Defense — launched a Strategic Communications campaign enabling the navy to raise its voice and assure its brand identity and survival. The navy must communicate a compelling narrative, convince political influencers and public opinion, and meet recruiting goals, all of which is achievable through coordinated communication strategy. Ward De Grieve, Commander Senior Grade, Head of Communications and PAO, BELGIAN NAVY

10:05 AM NETWORKING AND REFRESHMENT BREAK Sponsored By Constitution Hall Foyer, American University

CHANGING BEHAVIORS

10:30 AM METHOD IN THE MADNESS: STORYTELLING THAT MOVES PEOPLE TO ACTIONCommunication at its best is about moving people to action, but it is challenging to break through the noise so you stand out and are heard. How do brands effectively tell their stories to the right audience, through the right channels? As executive producer at Will Ferrell’s comedy company, Brad Jenkins and his team worked with everyone from Zach Galifianakis to Charlize Theron to President Barack Obama and with major brands such as Shell, LG, and Proctor & Gamble. For Brad, there is nothing more impactful than people talking about real human experiences in an authentic and often humorous way. Brad Jenkins, Producer and Strategist, ENFRANCHISEMENT PRODUCTIONS LLC, and former Managing Director and Executive Producer, FUNNY OR DIE

INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY

11:10 AM OPEN SOURCE STRATEGIES FOR THE DIGITAL AGE Digital technologies are changing business, government, and society worldwide. They’re opening new risks in every sector of the world economy and causing an explosion in open-source data and information. While the intelligence community deeply understands the mission, the private sector holds many of the keys to state-of-the-art tools. Increasingly, the intelligence community will be partnering with industry to develop and speed vital new technologies to the community. This session will offer mental models and practical frameworks to give you an edge in understanding the digital world. And this edge is not about tradecraft or secrets. It’s about better thinking. Moderator Matt McQueen, Chief Communications Officer, PERATONSpeakerDawn Meyerriecks, Deputy Director of CIA for Science and Technology, CENTRAL INTELLIGENCE AGENCY

TRACKED SESSIONS

1:00 PM THE STRATEGY OF LEADERSHIP

Working with and through others to drive positive business outcomes

Through a combi-nation of presentations, interactive discussions and case examples, you will explore the essence of effective leadership and gain new insights into your capabilities as a leader. Dave Swanson is a retired Army platoon leader and author who engaged in over 100 firefights during his tour in Iraq. Col.

POWER OF DISRUPTIVE DIGIAL MEDIA

Keys to creating engaging online stories

Digital media is arguably the most disruptive industry across the economy. Businesses that do any online content marketing are in a constant battle to keep up with new channels, applications, technolo-gy, and tactics.

And the pace of disruption by the digital media industry shows no signs of slowing down. Instead, its path of economic disruption is only getting wider. Digital media provide brands, agencies, and their media partners an impressive kit of tools to open new markets and reach new customers for businesses that can adapt.

Through presentations, interactive case studies and Q&A, this session will pinpoint strategies to skillfully deploy this powerful form of story-telling and distance yourself from competitors.
