NEWS & UPDATES
We are just days away from the most important and pivotal week in communications! We are ready…as are our partners and sponsors. Are you?
A weeklong slate of informational, trend-packed, future-driven sessions each and every day, with our signature Future of Communications conference on Wednesday, Nov. 17, complete with comms professionals from brand name organizations and many of our CommsWeek Advisory Board members. There’s still time to register for all the week has to offer.
Highlights this week…
  • Kick off CommsWeek on Nov. 15 with Ragan’s CEO Diane Schwartz as she leads “Transforming Communications: Leaders Speak Out.” This fireside chat will speak to trends and future predictions for the role of the communicator, and the skills and competencies needed for the role. Schwartz will be joined by Lanita Withers Goins of Arch Capital, Tiffany Guarnaccia of Kite Hill PR (and CommsWeek co-chair), Michael Laffin of Vertex Pharmaceuticals and Nicole Dye-Anderson of Wells Fargo. Plus, we’ll be showing parts of a movie short on public relations that has not been screened since 1947! Bring your popcorn to this webinar.
  • There’s a LIVE (yes, LIVE!) networking reception during Communications Week on Nov. 16 in New York City. Hosted by MWW at its headquarters in Herald Square, the event will feature a panel discussion around communication predictions for 2022, a sponsor showcase and networking with food and drinks (remember that?). Join us at 5:30 pm ET and register today!     
  • This week, we bring you Part 2 of Ragan’s Communications Week Conversations, which features some members of our Communications Week Advisory Board who “zoomed” in for a video chat around the topic, “Go Big with Little Things.” In this chat, the members surface ways to engage with remote employees and how outside coaches and expert speakers have helped to facilitate discussions with employees. Plus, don’t miss our Quick Reads this week, which includes an interview with Steve Cody of Peppercomm.
