The two-day meeting will provide the ideal platform to discuss social media strategies, platforms and tools used in the armed forces’ day-to-day activities from branding and recruitment to frontline operations, intelligence, and cyber warfare.

New highlights for the 2019 event include:

• Crisis Communications and Live Operations
• Briefing from the International Organization for Migration (IOM)
• US Special Operations Forces approach with a focus on psycho-social and cultural landscapes
• Two Interactive workshops on: ‘Audience Engagement through Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR)’ & ‘Digital Transformation in Government Communications’
