A Review of 2023 Issues and Trends

The past year has been — to put it mildly — consequential. If nothing else, the rise of Generative Artificial Intelligence has dramatically altered the communication landscape. But AI isn’t the only issue that faced communicators in 2023. From remote and hybrid work communication and the evolution of social media (as Twitter flails and younger demographic groups move away from the big dominant networks) to attacks on corporate DEI initiatives and rising levels of misinformation and disinformation, it has been a busy year! Join moderator Shel Holtz, SCMP, and four IABC Fellows for a look back on these issues and trends and how they will shape communication practices in the years ahead.

The final 2023 installment of Circle of Fellows will stream live at 5 p.m. EST on Thursday, December 21. You can ask questions and share comments and observations, becoming part of the discussion. If you cannot participate in real-time, you can watch the video replay or listen to the audio podcast shortly after the discussion concludes.

How Communicators Can Give the Gift of Communication

With the holiday season upon us, it is appropriate to talk about a gift communicators can give: the gift of communication. For several years, the day before the IABC World Conference begins, communicators spend a day with local nonprofits from the host city, providing their advice and recommendations to organizations that don’t have the resources to employ or contract strategic communication counsel. The practice has spread to regions and chapters and beyond. In this live stream, four Fellows of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) will discuss this practice and other ways it can be applied.

The session is scheduled for 5 p.m. ET on Thursday, November 16. Join us in real time on YouTube, ask questions and share observations. The panel will be available shortly after it wraps up as a video playback on YouTube and as an audio podcast here on the FIR Podcast Network.

Global Diversity Awareness as a Communication Imperative

In an increasingly interconnected world, the role of effective communication has never been more critical to organizational success. This month’s panel of IABC Fellows will delve into the nuances of Global Diversity Awareness. For organizational communicators, understanding and embracing the diverse tapestry of cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives is pivotal. The discussion will shed light on the challenges and opportunities presented by global diversity, offering insights on how to craft messages and engage in dialogues that resonate universally, build inclusive communication strategies, and foster a culture of understanding and respect in a dynamic global environment. The panel will be streamed live on YouTube, enabling viewers to pose questions and share experiences and ideas in real time. If you can’t join USD for the live stream, you can watch the video replay or listen to the audio podcast. The live stream begins at 3 p.m. ET on Thursday, October 19.
