Join us for a presentation about the Future of PR at a critical time of rapid change for the profession.

Dan Tisch’s visit to CPRS Ottawa-Gatineau follows hot-on-the-heels of the release of his discussion paper, The Elevation of Public Relation. Commissioned by the Canadian Public Relations Society, the paper “seeks to provide an overview of some of the most notable PR trends, and to puts forward hypotheses about future opportunities and challenges facing PR professionals, organizational communication and the profession itself.”

1. Understand the seven megatrends shaping PR today—for example, fake news and the empowered audience!
2. Pinpoint solutions and skills to pursue in order to future-proof your PR career.
3. Gain a greater appreciation for the value of belonging to a PR community that can help you grow personally and professionally.
