Welcome to Talk is Cheap 8.0, the eighth edition of Centennial College’s social media conference.
Talk is Cheap is an annual free social media conference hosted by corporate communications and public relations students at the college’s Story Arts Centre. The conference starts off with registration and a short reception. The event then has a panel discussion on a predetermined topic and concludes with a series of participant-led workshops. These workshops cover a variety of topics related to social media.
This year, the panel will be discussing social media influencers. It’s important that brands build relationships with influencers and create buzz around their product. We have an amazing panel lined up and we can’t wait for you to get some insider tips on the industry!
Thank you so much for attending our event. We hope you get a chance to listen to some amazing speakers and learn something!
