In celebration of its recent recognition as BCS Southeast Regional Group, the Center for Advanced Communications Policy sponsors a two-day event. During this one-hour discussion, Ian Ryder, deputy CEO of BCS, will lead a stimulating interchange with the audience on “Your Brand – Hostage to IT!” on how both social media and customer management systems conspire to impact the way organisations succeed or fail; the way students view the IT profession and the way we as consumers view both. Dr. Ron Hutchins will talk about GT-RNOC efforts on open source apps, and how it fit into institutional branding.
