14th PR & Communications Summit – 14th PR & Communications Summit
The role of a communicator is becoming more complex, as the demand for transparency increases, the public expects a response within hours (if not minutes) and social media amplifies everyone’s voice. Communication is especially difficult in the healthcare sector, where regulatory guidelines make it difficult to respond in real-time and trust continues to dwindle.
Built on a foundation of fourteen years of informative, relevant content and attended by communicators representing all segments of the healthcare ecosystem, the 14th PR & Communications Summit is designed to help you address these challenges, expect the unexpected, and proactively prepare for challenges that are sure to be in your future. This is the only event of its kind, and its thoughtful content developed by our expert advisory board allows you to leave the conference with a game plan for when you return to the office and a forward-looking ideology that can help shape your long-term communications strategy.
