2005 IABC Southern Region Conference

Oct. 16-18, 2005

Prepare to be shaken. The inaugural conference for the new IABC Southern Region will not simply stir up a few good ideas as most conferences do. Rather, just as IABC has been shaken up with a realignment of the old districts into new regions, this conference will shake up your conventional ways of thinking about communications.

Meet 005: Communications Shaken, Not Stirred. Oct. 16-18, 2005. College Station, Texas.

Like James Bond, communicators must be globally minded citizens who use new technology and innovative strategies to effectively shake things up and not simply stir things around.

This conference will provide professional communicators an opportunity to:
• Learn from Rolando Santos, Senior Vice President and General Manager, CNN Headline News, about Connecting with an International Audience.

• Be inspired by Rudy Ruettiger, subject of the movie Rudy, to pursue your communication goals.

• Get new ideas from Jane Cook, U.S. Presidential History Specialist and former White House Webmaster, who will discuss Communication Secrets from Presidential Shake-ups.

• Be in-the-know with IABC Special Agents in Charge: David Kistle, ABC, IABC Past Chair; Julie Freeman, ABC, IABC President; and Glenda Holmes, IABC Chair-elect.

• Hear from real-life spy Dudley Latimer on Clandestine Communications.

• Have your resume and portfolio professionally critiqued.

• Delve into two important topics via in-depth, pre-conference workshops: Vision Creativity and Marketing Trends.

• Choose from 20 different break-out sessions in five thematic tracks.

• Check out the award winners at the annual Silver Quill luncheon.

• Network with fellow communicators during an elegant reception at former President George Bush's Library and Museum.

• Experience the conference of the decade: Be Shaken, Not Stirred!
