Talk Is Cheap
October 11, 2007 by Gary Schlee
Talk Is Cheap — an unconference for Toronto-area PR and corporate communications practitioners on Thursday evening, November 15 — is officially launched and looking for presenters and registrants.
In the spirit of unconferences (you might be familiar with Podcamp or Case Camp), Talk Is Cheap is free and features short presentations from registrants who will be sharing their expertise and experience with colleagues. The focus is social media (Web 2.0).
The name, Talk Is Cheap, recognizes that social media is about conversation and represents an inexpensive tactic for PR folks. The name also recognizes that the event’s purpose is to encourage conversation and learning about social media in an affordable setting.
Who is it for?
Talk Is Cheap is primarily for PR and corporate communications practitioners who are aware of the social media phenomenon and want to find out more about it. They’ve heard about, or dabbled with, blogs or podcasts or wikis or Facebook or myRagan or The Communicators Network or Twitter or Bloglines or … you get the idea.
Of course it’s also for practitioners who have experience in these spaces and willing to share those experiences with colleagues. And it’s for corporate communications and PR students interested in learning more about social media’s impact on the biz.
Talk Is Cheap is happening at The Centre for Creative Communications, a campus of Centennial College located about 10 mintues from downtown Toronto. It is made possible through funding provided by the Toronto chapter of IABC (International Association of Business Communicators).

Excellent initiative, Gary. Count me in. Heading over to the wiki right now…
Looking forward to it. Thanks Gary!
Looking forward to all the energy this will generate for our program, our college and our campus. All the best with this, Gary.
Wish I could be there . . . although I will be in Paris at the time which isn’t such a bad thing. I will certainly give it a mention on my blog this week.
You’re right, Boyd; Paris isn’t such a bad thing. We’ll miss seeing you at Talk Is Cheap.
