Agenda

Networking

ChatGPT and generative artificial intelligence are the most disruptive forces to hit the public relations industry since the internet. For PR professionals, the burning question of how AI will fit into the future of our profession is front and center. In Aaron's talk, we explore if the technology will replace communications practitioners, or if seasoned PR pros can use it to work smarter and enhance their work? Newsrooms are short-staffed, budgets are increasingly tight, and public relations teams are consistently asked to do more with less. So how can you strike the right balance?

How AI Will Change PR & Your Career

For many reasons, the 2020 election cycle was a pivotal time in American history. According to Berlin Rosen, the 2022 midterm election cycle shattered records, becoming the second most expensive political cycle of all time, behind only the 2020 presidential election. With control of the White House and both houses of Congress up for grabs, we should expect 2024 to set a new record. In addition to a pricey election, tactics used by political campaigns in recent years have brought new challenges to companies and brands. How does the ever-changing political world align with the evolving media landscape for the 2024 elections? What should companies and agencies start preparing now for the heat the election might bring in 2024?

Ahead of the Curve: Mastering PR Strategies for the 2024 Election

Your organization’s next crisis is on the horizon – it’s inevitable. The question is, are you ready for it? No company or brand is immune to high-profile incidents. Whether it’s a minor matter such as a power outage, or a high-profile event such as a bridge collapse, we hear from some of the most seasoned PR professionals in the Pittsburgh region about their real-life crises, how they were managed, and their best pieces of advice for others in the industry.
