VODG Marketing and Communications Professional Network Meeting March 2024

We are excited to announce that the next VODG marketing and communications professional network meeting, available to you through your VODG membership, is open for registration. Join us online, 13 March, 10.00 - 12.00.

The forthcoming meeting will be an exciting and insightful discussion on the two riveting topics of AI and social media.

With AI technologies becoming increasingly prevalent, we will hear from Tom Pratt of Albert Road Consulting, who will be speaking about what exactly AI is and how it can be used to improve marketing activity or make it more efficient. Following this members, will engage in an in-depth discussion to explore its true definition and the multitude of ways it can be effectively implemented in the daily operations of a busy marketing department. This session aims to foster a learning environment where participants can showcase their use of AI - no matter their level of experience - to inspire others to leverage this technology for greater efficiency and better results.

Moving forward to the final session of this event, we will be joined by Kerry Watkins of Social for Good, who's focus will be on the changing landscape of social media, with the aim of identifying new platforms and trends that members should be aware of. Additionally, this session will offer unique insights into how to use social media differently to optimise its potential and achieve organisational goals.
