Communications Corner | April Recap

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

April was busy 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! Learn more about each webinar from this month by reading our blog posts:

Webinars keep our team busy as we prepare them from start to finish each week. Before each webinar, our team creates the graphics, website content, Zoom registration and links for panelists and attendees, registration and reminder emails, social media posts, as well as taking time to do run-throughs with each speaker. During the webinar, at least one person from our team attends as host to ensure everything runs smoothly and records for people to watch after. Once the webinar is finished, we upload each recording and send out emails to those who were not able to attend live, and finish with a blog post.

Courses

NCI hosted our hybrid Pasta Production and Technology course from April 26th-28th. Our team played a big role in helping with the online side as well as getting all the materials needed ready for the in-person participants. This course was the first time our team was able to use our mobile computer on wheels to allow online participants to experience the lab demonstrations at NCI instead of just the presentations. Our team was busy over the 3-day course, ensuring the technology was in order and working to give the online participants the best experience possible without being in-person.

Between the busyness of webinars, courses, and traveling…our team has also been hard at work editing videos, writing press releases, blog posts, planning, & more for upcoming events.
