Overview
Building on the success of last year's sold-out event, SMi proudly invites you to attend the 7th instalment of its #milsocialmedia series. Mark your calendars now for the 6th and 7th of December 2017 as the only social media series of its kind returns to Central London!
Social Media Within the Defence and Military Sector 2017 will yet again bring together a global audience of senior defence, military and commercial experts to discuss how social media is being increasingly intertwined within operations. Key themes will be explored - from raising innovative campaigns that showcase the latest solutions and products in the market to lessons on educating soldiers and raising awareness of institutional issues as well strategies for recruitment campaigns and utilising digital communications as an overall new front in warfare.
This year's event will provide an intelligent forum to explore trending strategies and new technologies that will aid you to understand and utilise social media while fronting the risks and challenges.
