Connect with these speakers & your peers

What we’ve heard from past attendees time and time again is not only the high caliber sessions offered during the conference, but also the genuine camaraderie created at the event. Who else knows best what you’re going through than other government social media professionals just like you?

Get together at the Welcome Reception, meet one another at the Restaurant Romp, at Networking Breaks, during the sessions themselves and even after hours. GSMCON is just the beginning of finding your socialgov support system where the camaraderie lasts long after the event ends.

But, it’s not only these friendships you’ll gain — you’ll walk away or log off with the right information to elevate your role, confidently communicate and become the best government social media professional. Here’s just a few of the sessions you’ll see:

• Fireside chat with crisis communication & 1A attorney Mark Weaver
• Special activities like our Social Media Policy Reboot! Bring your current policy, learn best practices & work with your peers in small groups to answer questions, swap language & walk away with an even stronger policy for your attorney to review. 
• Demo-style sessions where speakers walk through helpful tools live
• All Access Only sessions! Upgrade your experience and be a part of Live Reviews, WWYD Scenarios and PowerTalks
• Breakout sessions from industry leaders and professionals from a wide-variety of backgrounds and jurisdictions

What will hybrid GSMCON look like?

Team GSM is planning a special hybrid experience for both in-person and online attendees for our 7th annual GSMCON, making the conference even more accessible to the whole community. No matter what ticket type you pick, you’ll gain fulfilling experience making you an even more confident, efficient government social media professional.
