Join us for Talk is Cheap 4.0
Presented by Cision
Talk is Cheap 4.0 is a free social media event hosted at The Centre for Creative Communications at Centennial College. This year, the event will start with a panel discussion focused on sports and social media, followed by a series of 20-minute participant-led presentations on a variety of topics related to social media and public relations.
The content will be determined by participants following the traditional model of an unconference — where a participant-driven face-to-face event is organized around a particular theme that provides an opportunity for the open exchange of ideas. This year, Talk is Cheap 4.0 will team up with Canadian charitable organization Right to Play, which is focused on providing sports programming for children; we aim to donate $600 and raise awareness of this organization throughout the event.
