Topic:
The 2008 Presidential Elections fundamentally changed the way that political campaigns are run at the grassroots level. Going into this year’s elections, our panel will discuss the impact and importance that social media will play in the election process. We’re talking about methods, best practises and trends rather than partisan ideology. How will social media be leveraged to influence voters and which platforms will rise to the forefront? Join us and find out as we get into politics at Policy!
