Groupe CNW est une partie importante et essentielle des processus de reportage journalistique et financier au Canada, reconnue dans les plus importantes salles de rédaction et institutions financières en tant qu’élément essentiel de la dissémination et de la livraison d’informations d’actualité directement de leur source. Groupe CNW exploite des bureaux à Vancouver, à Calgary, à Toronto, à Ottawa et à Halifax. CNW Telbec, filiale à part entière de Groupe CNW, a ses bureaux à Montréal et à Québec.

He also conducts Social Media Marketing Workshops for public servants (and non-profit workers) across Canada and teaches Small Business Development at Heritage College.

Numerous Canadian government departments have started to tap into the power of social media both internally and externally (i.e. CRA, DND, CATSA, DFAIT and PWGSC to name a few.) Some initiatives are starting to see success, others not so much. What is the common thread that seems to be separating success from failure? What are the main challenges?

Mike Kujawski will talk about the latest best practices and 10 strategic guidelines that you can follow to maximize your objectives and get buy-in for further social media engagement initiatives in your government organization.

Mike’s session is scheduled for Sunday afternoon at 15:00.

Radio-Canada is Canada’s national public broadcaster and one of its largest cultural institutions. With its Radio, Television, Internet and Digital Services, Radio-Canada is one of the most extensive French-language source of information and entertainment available where, and when Canadians want it. Radio-Canada.ca webcasts weekly more than 600 hours of radio and television programs and offers on demand more than 300 radio and television shows.

Radio-Canada.ca will launch this fall an extended podcast offer and a new mobile portal. PodCamp Montreal is very pleased to welcome Radio-Canada’s technology specialist and Carnet Techno writer on Radio-Canada.ca, Bruno Guglielminetti, who will join us on Sunday at 11 am.
