Every year, DC-area business communicators gather to recognize those communication projects that stand out above the rest in terms of effectiveness and excellence. Join us this October for the Silver Inkwell Awards Gala, the communication community's “Signature of Excellence” that focuses on outstanding communication programs that have supported business objectives.

Dr. Mark Drapeau, the Director of Public Sector Social Engagement for Microsoft, will be this year's keynote speaker for the Silver Inkwell Awards gala, scheduled for Tuesday, October 26, 2010 at the Hyatt Regency in Bethesda, Md.

At the gala, Drapeau will discuss the importance of focusing on outcomes as opposed to merely outputs; Government 2.0; and the impact of social media on everyone from the government to every day communicators.
