Launched in 2010, the PR Summit curates and assembles top media influencers, entrepreneurs, marketers, and public relations practitioners under one-tent. This highly culled and selected group takes part in intense panel discussions, debate, keynotes, breakout-sessions and networking. Conference attendees are then armed with insider information on the best-in-class social media, publishing, and communication programs. What works? Why? How? 

We share information that generates bottom line results...

1. Learn about the role native advertising and social publishing play in the brave new world of branded content. 
2. Hear top media influencers & entrepreneurs discuss the latest trends and best practices in business communications. 
3. Learn what works? And what does not work when trying to indentify new communication and marketing channels? 
4. New content strategies! 
5. How social media is changing news gathering & reporting. 

The PR Summit brings together top thought leaders and enigmatic personalities across a wide range of industries, to discuss pain-points, disruptive ideas, and how new content strategies can affect a companies bottom line. This curation has a compass focused on how content creation, real-time personalization, SEO, and story-telling is shaping the business & consumer landscape. Our desired goal is to help business professionals anticipate the shifts and changes in the market place. We'll showcase how consumer attitudes and social media continue to play a broader role in transforming the way we engage and interact.
