NEWS: Virginia Tech Presenting at eduWeb Conference

May 16th, 2007

Great NEWS!!!

Virginia Tech will be presenting at this year’s eduWeb Conference.

Michael Dame, Director of Web Communications at Virginia Tech, will be presenting at the 2nd Annual eduWeb Conference, July 22-24, 2007, at the Sheraton Inner Harbor, Baltimore, MD.

His presentation, “The Tragedy at Virginia Tech: Crisis Communications on the Web” will provide an insider’s viewpoint of his institution’s online communications effort after the tragic events of April 16, helping every institution understand what happened and how to prepare for the unimaginable. Mr. Dame will provide an overview of Virginia Tech’s response – including a website development timeline and details about resources devoted to the effort – followed by a question-and-answer session.

Whatever crisis might bestow a higher education institution, we need not only to have a crisis communications plan but also handle it as well as those who were involved with the minute-by-minute decisions at Virginia Tech.

Early Bird registration, till May 25, at $450; after that, Regular Registration is $550 till the conference starts. Two post-conference workshops are $150 per person.
