This is Going to be Fun! True Spin: A National Conference on Media Relations for Progressives

The 90 / 10 rule says that 90% of the work is done by 10% of the people. In most campaigns and coalitions that rule holds true. It is really important that this core network gets along, understands thier common story and has an opportunity to interact and build ties and friendships with each other outside of the tense atmosphere of a full throttle effort to protect the planet.

In my day job, I am working to start to help foster some more network connections across the communicaitons staff and members we work with at Green Media Toolshed. We are sponsoring and promoting the True Spin conference. We will be there putting the network-centric advocacy principals in action (building ties across our friends, users,a nd member groups).

We are planning some social ties, (lots of food and drink) fun work sessions and some strategic parties to inject a bit more common story into the crew of folks that need to coordinate message, campaigns and issue work. I am really looking forward to the True Spin: Conference on Media Relations for Progressives.

Please come if you can. I am going to do all we can to make it a great event for our movements core network.

Officials from giant corporations meet all the time to share their latest and greatest PR strategies.
Now it’s our turn.
This conference will bring together flaks from progressive advocacy groups to sharpen their media relations skills, emphasizing new and creative tactics.
Join some of America’s best progressive PR practitioners for two days of thought-provoking panels, practical workshops, networking, and fun.
After the conference ends on Friday afternoon, consider sticking around for a weekend in Colorado high country.

Also let us know if you have ideas or can help sponsor some participation for communications folks that may find the travel and fees too expensive (trying to get a little scholarship fund going).
