GCMA Focal Point: Using AI for Mass Communications
AI is rapidly reshaping how organizations craft, target, and deliver messages at scale - from public safety alerts and event updates to internal comms and crisis response. In this webinar, Prof. G. Keith Still connects the dots between technology, practice, and policy, showing how AI fits into proven communication frameworks to improve clarity, speed, and audience trust during both routine operations and high-stakes situations. Expect practical guidance on tools and workflows, where AI helps (and where it shouldn’t), and the legal and ethical guardrails you need to know.

We'll bring together harm reduction advocates, event organizers, and safety professionals to discuss the benefits and drawbacks of taking a harm reduction versus enforcement approach to illicit substance use, share effective implementation strategies, and explore how to find common ground with those committed to a "zero tolerance" approach. Don't miss this opportunity to learn how to meet attendees where they are and create safer, more inclusive events.
