The Public Affairs Crisis Playbook: Emergency and Cybersecurity Management in Eight Steps

It’s no longer enough to hold a press conference or issue a press release. Today’s crises can go viral in moments — whether it’s a brand crisis, natural disaster, cybersecurity attack or worse. And nobody faces more crises than civic and government public affairs pros. This session takes a page (pages, actually) from today’s public affairs emergency protocols to help you communicate through chaos, mobilize responders and protect your brand or the stakeholders you serve.

This conference is your guide to what's new and what's working in public affairs and executive comms. Our 4.5 hour program will give you the strategies you need to influence policy, inform the public and build stronger stakeholder relationships.
