Communications Corner | October Recap

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

October was a month of preparation for 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: 

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.

& More!

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. Video production is a huge part of what our communications team works on, so check out our video recap blog post to learn more!

This month NCI hosted the Contracting for Wheat Value Course. This was a private course so our team made some print materials for the participants and took some pictures and videos during their time here. We also helped prep NCI staff with name tags, name cards, power points, etc. for National Institute of Oilseed Products’ Oils University Oct. 25-26 in Dallas, Texas.
