Monday’s program kicks off with Think Tanks at 7:15AM (breakfast not included!) I hope that others are ready to do my share of the thinking – at least until I’ve managed the first couple cups of coffee.I’m hoping to attending John Gerstner’s E-collaboration and online communities session. Gerstner plans to discuss new tools, trends, best practices and solicit feedback for further IABC Foundation research in this area.

Next, it’s off to the morning’s general session, featuring Rajash Subramanian, IABC’s 2006 Excel (Excellence in Communication Leadership) Award Winner.

I’ll dip into employee communications for the final session of Monday morning. Carol Kinsey Goman’s I heard it through the Grapevine promises to examine how informal grapevine communications compare with more formal employee communications.
