In the run up to the show, SMi spoke to some of its key speakers about social media strategy within the military domain. Giovanni Galoforo, Strategic Communication Instructor from the Italian Naval Staff College said: “What could be improved is the sense of empowerment that could be used to create a new generation of ambassadors for the military..the risk of being "too" military or "too little" military is real.” Mick Latter, who has been involved in delivering specialist content for the British Army and who is currently the Head of Digital and Media Engagement from Headquarter Corps of Army Music, commented: “In order for the British Army to be successful on operations it requires the support of public and social media has been a key part of this over recent years especially in Afghanistan. The balance of operational and personal security against the need to raise awareness has to be considered at all times…” On what he envisioned for the role of social media in the future of military engagement, he Mick Latter said, “Social Media is a constantly developing field, in fact it could be classed a battlefield at times. The British Army is aware of the need to engage and develop this area and one of the tasks in my new role in the newly formed 77th Brigade should be looking at ways to exploit the power of social media from a military perspective, something that various terrorist organisations are doing pretty well at currently.” The full interviews available to read at http://smi-online.co.uk/ For further details or to view a programme for the show, visit http://www.smi- Social Media within the Defence and Military Sector 2015 19-20 November Holiday Inn Kensington Forum, London UK www.military- --- ENDS --- About SMi Group: Established since 1993, the SMi Group is a global event-production company that specializes in Business-to- End
