NEW YORK--()--Business Wire’s free award-winning webinar series takes a new turn this month with a webinar addressing the hottest topics in “netiquette”--that is, Etiquette in the Digital Age. All webinars are FREE.
“Technology is changing faster than ever, and to keep it working for us and not against us, we need to adapt how we use it”
With colleagues tweeting during meetings, texting during presentations and refusing to put their cellphones down even when engaged in live conversation, it’s often impossible to know what to do.
Business Wire’s June 24 event will feature Anna Post, spokesperson and author for The Emily Post Institute, who will address these challenging situations. “Technology is changing faster than ever, and to keep it working for us and not against us, we need to adapt how we use it,” she says. “That’s where etiquette comes in.”
Those interested are invited to send in their netiquette pet peeves and questions in advance to: monika.maeckle@businesswire.com.
Business Wire’s free webinars, attended by thousands of professional communicators since the series inception in 2008, are archived at Business Wire’s website. The sessions generally run one hour, with 45 minutes of presentation and 15 of question and answer, with polls and interaction mixed in along the way.
