Winning Hearts and Minds With Digital Technology 
Michael Slaby, Chief Integration and Innovation Officer at Obama for America and former Digital Global Practice Chair at Edelman, makes a special visit to SFIMA to share his unique experiences working on the 2008 and 2012 presidential campaigns.

Please note this is in no way about politics or any of those controversial issues that go along with it, they will not be discussed in this forum. Obama for America was recognized for innovative use of social media, ushering in a new era of politicking and showing how technology has changed the way organizations work to win hearts, minds and dollars. Our event will focus on the techniques and innovation that resulted in a great deal of success in social media and online fundraising. Slaby will share his expertise in creating compelling content while using data, technology and multiple types of media. There will be Q&A session at the end of his presentation, but it will be focused on best practices for business, and not on political issues.
