  • Show your character and give your avatar a facelift. Attendees are encourage to drop by the Cision booth on the main exhibit floor (booths 16 & 17) for a complimentary custom caricature that you can wear as a badge throughout the conference and add a little spice to your online presence.
  • Earned Media Measurement goes global. Measuring communications campaigns across the globe at high profile events and across social and traditional media can be tricky business.
