Forums

We hold forums three times a year (March, June and September).  They are held over the lunch hour 11:30am-1:00pm.  When possible we like to hold them in-person to allow for a networking, with the option to join online.  Since COVID-19, they have moved to an online-only format.  

Members have access to recordings of past forum presentations.  Click here to access those recordings.  

These quarterly forums allow us to highlight a “wicked problems.”  The presenter delves deep into the situation and shares how they are using social marketing to help address the problem.  Past forum presentation topics have included: wildfires, plastics, COVID vaccinations, distracted driving, gun violence, and opioid addiction.

The fourth quarter of the year is reserved for our two-day SPARKS conference, which is held in early December.  Click here for more details on this event.
