We just wrapped up our first Employee Advocacy Summit, and it was packed with information on this exciting new field.
We heard from everyone: advocates themselves, training experts, best-selling authors, long-time leaders, and even a lawyer (with a sense of humor). Mike Bruny talked about "falling in love with your company"; Liz Bullock unveiled 10 steps to implementing a training program; Sabrina Stoffregen, DeShelia Spann, and Tammie Wagner told us how to take our program to the next level; and our fearless leaders, Chris Boudreaux and Susan Emerick, held court on everything from technology to metrics to the bottom line. It ended with a live episode of Denise Holt's Social Business Helpline podcast that blended right into cocktail hour, as the audience questions kept coming.
We think it's safe to say that, based on the enthusiasm we saw from both panelists and the crowd, Employee Advocacy is a red-hot topic that's sure to keep spreading like wildfire in the years to come.
