Elective Session
Sometimes as editors we are faced with important stories that might seem difficult to make interesting. Are you being asked to promote a building, a list of research grants, or perhaps a new piece of medical equipment? We will discuss how to inspire personal connection and excitement in your audience and share best practices with examples—including dedicated newsletters, fascinating facts, hero portraits and drone videos—that we and some of our colleagues have used. Our discussion will include print, online, and social media tactics.
