PRSA of America at Boston University's 2016 Regional Conference: PRAdvanced
The Public Relations Student Society of America at Boston University is pleased to invite you to our 2016 Regional Conference. This year’s conference PRAdvanced: Tune In! takes place on Saturday, February 20, 2016 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. in the new Sumner M. Redstone Law Building on BU’s campus, a first for our regional conferences.
PRAdvanced: Tune In! is going back to basics, exploring the fundamental communication principle—listen first and talk second— by examining the shift from outbound to inbound communication where listening and understanding come first. Speakers and attendees will discuss the evolving process of listening to clients and their audiences to create stand-out content.
For this year’s conference, we have Sarah Unger, Director of Marketing Strategy at Viacom presenting as our keynote speaker. As a former VP at Ketchum and current executive for a company revolutionizing audience engagement across all its entertainment brands, Sarah will provide plenty of insight on what it really means to “tune in.” Additionally, we are offering a variety of breakout sessions with a few of the topics being Social Monitoring Technology, Community Management, and Targeting Millennials.
Our Career Fair at the conclusion of the day is the perfect opportunity to learn about the industry and internship opportunities from companies like Burson-Marsteller, LEWIS PR, Situation Interactive, GlossyBox, Ketchum, Marina Maher Communications, and Weber Shandwick.
As part of our community service initiative we have recently partnered with the non-profit Music & Memory to host an iDrive or iPod, iPhone, iPad drive to aid their mission of bringing personalized playlists to aid patients with various cognitive and physical disabilities through a unique form of music therapy. So bring your old iPods, iPhones, iPads, chargers, or even an iTunes gift card to help us assist this special organization’s efforts.
