IABC Canberra Midweek Mingle

Topic of discussion - Humans Still Required: Communicators on the Frontline of Misinformation Come enjoy the warmer weather and network with local communication professionals! As always, the first drink's on us as we catch up and talk about the latest. This is a chance to meet and mingle with other professionals, share your experiences and challenges, and learn about new trends in our industry. You'll hear from Amy Arbery, Behavioural Strategist & Facilitator, Elm Communications on "Humans Still Required: Communicators on the Frontline of Misinformation". Misinformation spreads fast and correcting it after the fact is rarely enough. In this conversation Amy shares a practical, evidence-based approach to prebunking: preparing audiences to recognise and resist misleading claims before they take hold, rather than chasing corrections after the damage is done. Based on the communications prebunking playbook released earlier this year , Amy will discuss: – How to identify likely misinformation risks early, as part of policy and campaign planning – The common manipulation techniques behind misleading claims, and how to explain them to your audience – How to build organisational readiness, so your team can respond quickly and consistently when it matters Amy Arbery is a behavioural strategist and facilitator at Elm Communications. Currently on secondment to NASA, she has more than 20 years' experience in behavioural science, regulatory communications and stakeholder engagement across government and industry. This event is open to all IABC members, friends and colleagues. We look forward to seeing you. Disclaimer and Privacy Statement - IABC Canberra
