NEWS & UPDATES
Sometimes you must look back … to look forward. To kick off our Communications Week agenda, we’re going back to 1947! Thanks to CommsWeek partner The Museum of PR, we will preview a short film (not shown since 1947) that sheds light on a little-known profession: PR!
We’ve paired the film—for contrast—with our opening (free) Webinar “Transforming Communications: Leaders Speak Out,” Nov. 15, in which Ragan’s CEO Diane Schwartz and a panel of leading communicators from Arch Capital, SAP and Vertex Pharmaceuticals will talk transformational trends redefining the role of the modern-day communicator.  
In other CommsWeek news:
  • From internal comms to external comms, we’ve got it covered. Our sponsors and partners will offer premier content all week long, including “New Age of Disinformation: Why Silence No Longer Means Safety” from Institute For Public Relations (IPR); Digital Transformation for Internal Communicators from Beezy; and Bridging the Hybrid Divide Through Video from Vyond that will also reveal survey results from full-time employees at Fortune 500+ companies. Keep checking the CommsWeek schedule for the latest updates and to register.
  • The deadline is next week for our university student contest, “What will the future of communications look like in 10 years?,” from Ragan and IPR. Students must submit their forecasts between Oct. 11-15 on social media. College students need to gaze into those crystal balls and submit concise, funny, serious, visual or written answers to the question on Twitter and Instagram with the #commsweek2021. Spread the word, visit commsweek.com/student-contest/ for details.
  • Have you registered yet for The Future of Communications on Nov. 17? What are you waiting for? VIP pricing (that’s you!) ends next Friday, Oct. 15.
  • Also, catch up on the latest must-reads on vaccine mandates and improving employee culture, and a new video chat with Fleishman Hillard’s Chief Diversity & Inclusion Officer Adrianne Smith on how to make inclusion authentic.
