To effectively compete and communicate in a changing world of political and public affairs campaigns means taking a spin in the online world and successfully negotiating contemporary rules observed in Web-based spheres of influence. On three days in June, from the East Coast to the West Coast led by a kickoff in the fastest growing metropolitan area in the United States, political consultants, public affairs pros, issue advocates, lobbyists and youth activists will immerse themselves in a series of seminars hosted by the American Association of Political Consultants "> which are aimed at revealing how to best meet social media and technology prepared with an appropriate action plan.

Tools and topics will include:

. Social Media: No longer fringe media, attendees will learn the new rules of working with online influencers, and how to leverage online, peer-to-peer conversations and buzz about campaigns.

. Online Advertising: With growing numbers of key target audiences reading the news online, understanding how to deliver results for clients is a critical ingredient in the mix.
