Abstract:
This webinar will provide you with everything you need to build and maintain relationships with the community and get the public excited about science.
Gain insight from experts on how to inspire your scientist peers and nonscientists to engage in advocacy and outreach in support of science. Through participating in public activities such as Science on Tap and Nerd Nite, holding informal coffee meetings with your colleagues, and partaking in other activities, you can empower others to get involved.
In this webinar, expert advocates will demonstrate creative ways to attract a nonscientific audience to your events. You will hear to thoughtfully select topics and speakers and develop and implement powerful marketing strategies.
