GSMCON2022: Initial speakers announced! Early-bird registration ends Friday
It’s time to check out the initial speaker lineup for the 2022 Government Social Media Conference! GSMCON2022 — the largest social media conference in the U.S. for government agencies — is happening March 29-31, 2022 in Dallas, Texas and online, and we can’t wait to meet you there.
Industry leaders and professionals from a wide-variety of backgrounds and jurisdictions — including Argonne National Laboratory, Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, BC Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, and more — are hosting breakout sessions at GSMCON2022 to create the best learning experience for all levels of government social media professionals. More speakers and exciting updates from social networks will be announced soon!
What we hear from attendees time and time again is about the caliber of sessions and the expertise of the speakers, which makes GSMCON stand apart from other similar conferences. Speakers will share in-depth advice and top-notch tips on many important topics including accessibility, data reporting, maintaining public trust, platform specifics and more, all while getting you tangible takeaways you can use right after GSMCON2022 ends.
We’re bringing back All Access Only and demo-style sessions! After hearing last year’s attendees positive feedback, speakers are hosting demo sessions — hands-on, walk-throughs of specific tools or tech — and special All Access only tickets where participants get access to special sessions including Live Reviews, WWYD Scenarios & PowerTalks.
More speakers, sessions, special activities and keynotes will be announced as we continue to develop our GSMCON2022 program happening in Dallas, TX and online, March 29-31, 2022.
