President Ryder Todd Smith, Director Jon Barilone and Business Analyst Saara Lampwalla will represent Tripepi Smith at the California Association of Public Information Officials (CAPIO) 2021 Annual Conference in Squaw Creek from November 2-5, 2021.
Not only is Tripepi Smith a Diamond Sponsor for CAPIO, but the firm will also sponsor the conference Wi-Fi and lead two insightful sessions.
On November 2 at 4 p.m., Ryder, Saara and Jon will close out a pre-conference “Social Media Boot Camp” featuring presentations by representatives from Facebook and Instagram, Twitter and Nextdoor. The Tripepi Smith team will dive deep into gathering social media analytics in “Measuring What Matters.”
“We hope CAPIO members walk away from this hands-on workshop feeling empowered by having measured the impact of their work,” said Saara.
Key takeaways from the session will include:
- Why measuring metrics matters,
- Creating a social media dashboard report,
- And important social media metrics to gather.
On November 4 at 9 a.m., Jon will moderate the discussion “Two (or Three or Four) Heads Are Better Than One: Forming Your Countywide PIO Network.”
“Collaboration across geographic boundaries has a positive impact on reaching the public with important announcements,” said Jon. “It’s an honor to have the opportunity to moderate a panel of public information professionals who put that principle into practice every day.”
