Behind each 2016 presidential candidate is an all-important digital team who amplifies the candidate’s voice and message on various social platforms to ensure it reaches the right voter base. As the media landscape rapidly evolves, so have the analytical capabilities, social media skills and resourcefulness of today’s political campaigns. The three keynote speakers will shed light on how technology and politics work together to ensure the success of high profile campaigns that reach large audiences.
