- (1888PressRelease) March 08, 2011 - Steelhenge Consulting, a leading provider of business continuity consultancy and crisis management planning, has confirmed that Drew Gibson (CBCI) will speak at an upcoming Business Continuity Institute London Forum event. The seminar's theme is "Protecting Value and Reputation in a Crisis" and will be held at Atos Origin, 1 Triton Square, Regents Place, NW1 3HG on the 23rd March 2011. The event is open to members of the Business Continuity Institute. For more information, visit www.steelhenge.co.uk or call 0845 094 2117.
"We're delighted to announce that Drew will be speaking at the BCI London Forum," said Isobel Nicholas, Director of Communications for Steelhenge. "As active partners of the Business Continuity Institute, we welcome the opportunity to contribute to Forum events. They bring together a range of industry professionals and create an excellent opportunity for knowledge sharing and lively debate."
"As an expert on social media and crisis response," Isobel continued, "Drew will be giving a presentation titled: 'Social Media - how to use it in a crisis, and how to respond to a crisis that begins in social media.' The speed at which news breaks across social networks can elicit a reaction and create a discussion in the public domain before the crisis has even been fully reported and understood by the organisations involved," Isobel explained. "That's why understanding the use of social media is of critical importance for those managing reputation in a crisis, and why Drew's talk will be of great value to the attendees of the event," Isobel concluded.
