# Presentations from Newcastle conferences

## Presentations from Newcastle conferences

Today I’ve been up in Newcastle presenting at a couple of conferences – thanks to Public Sector Forums (PSF) and the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) North East group.  
Here are the slides from my presentations – they’re pretty similar although the PSF presentation explored a bit more detail about social media and the impact it’s having on local government:

The CIPR presentation was intended for a mainly non-council audience so was a bit more focussed on public relations and how social media is affecting council communications (download it [here](http://www.box.net/shared/bl12u5f2u4)):
