The Evolution of PR and Communications

A Lightning Round Event.

Remember the days of telephone calls and print ads? (Or remember your more senior, wiser colleagues telling you about it?!)

From digital to social to everything in between (yes, including print!), our next PRSA/SENE chapter event will cover the “Evolution of PR and Communications” – and what you need to know to excel in it.

And for a little evolution of our own, we’re changing up the event format a bit. This morning session will feature three “lightning rounds” with speakers presenting for 10 minutes each. Speakers will present content related to our overarching topic with their own twists from their unique backgrounds and experiences.

Join us for breakfast, peer network building, and evolutionary insights!

• Christina O’Reilly - Senior Public Relations Officer, RI Hospital/Lifespan
