Talk Is Still Cheap

November 1, 2008 by Gary Schlee

A year ago the Talk Is Cheap ‘unconference’ attracted about 160 PR practitioners and students. It was meant to encourage communicators to find out more about the growth and potential of social media. During and after the event I was often asked: “So, when is the next one?”

I hedged. Did the Web 2.0 space need another annual event? Knowing I was retiring from teaching, did I want to tackle a second one? Well, Christine Smith and Barry Waite, who both teach at Centennial, wanted to see the ‘unconference’ continue. So, Talk Is Cheap 2.0 is taking place on Tuesday Wednesday, November 12, at Centennial’s Centre for Creative Communications. Social Media tactics have grown remarkably in the past 12 months, but there’s still lots to know and talk about as we try to get a handle on how to use it effectively.

Check out the details at http://talkischeap.pbwiki.com, then, if you’re in the Toronto area, sign up to attend.

See you there!

    It’s too bad I’m not going to be around for this. But, I’m sure it’s going to be a great time. You’ve started a good thing, Gary : )
