›Social Media in the Defence & Military

Social Media has become an increasingly vital tool for the Armed Forces in the 21st Century. Not only in order to reach out to a wider and younger audience globally for recruitment and information purposes but as a new front in warfare. What soldiers, airmen and sailors post online can be crucial to winning the hearts and minds of local populations, weakening the enemy’s narrative and as an instrument in the proliferation of cyber warfare. Therefore today’s warriors must be competent in all social media channels as well as aware of the inherent dangers they might be put in at home and on operations when posting online.

SMi group is proud to announce its 6th Annual Social Media Within The Defence and Military Sector. The event will be held in London on the 14th and 15th November to discuss the latest concepts and ideas on how to enhance the outreach of the military in the digital sphere, as well as the integration of social media activities within the whole spectrum of operations conducted by the military both at home and abroad.
