Communications Corner | December Recap

Welcome to the Communications Corner ㅡ a once a month recap blog post sharing what NCI’s communications team has been up to!

December was another busy month with various events on top of our everyday communication and marketing tasks. Let’s recap this month’s events:

Webinars

Our team helps market, run, and recap NCI’s various webinars hosted several times each month! Watch the webinars here: 

Our team stays occupied with weekly webinar preparations, handling everything from creating graphics and website content to setting up Zoom registration and links for panelists and attendees. We also manage registration and reminder emails, craft social media posts, and conduct run-throughs with each speaker prior to the event. Throughout the webinar, a team member serves as a host to make it an easy process and records the session for later viewers. Post-webinar, we upload the recording and distribute emails to those who couldn't attend live.

NCI is starting a new webinar series, Pulse Potential, that will launch January 3rd. Stay updated with upcoming speakers on our website!
