Data Security and Privacy: The Role of Communications in Earning and Maintaining Trust 


Privacy has taken center stage as device and data proliferation has clashed with a dramatic increase in high profile breaches. This clash is impacting how consumers engage with your brand and whether or not to ultimately trust you. This session will give you critical insights into consumer sentiment about privacy, what the current privacy landscape looks like for businesses, and outline steps you can take to make sure your company is not tomorrow’s headline.

The public relations industry has made great strides in the direction of diversity, but we are still a long way from where we need to be. The important work being done by certain companies and institutions can only take us so far. Each of us must embrace our individual role in advancing diversity in PR.

Quantifying PR’s Return on Investment (and why so many people get it wrong)


In the world of public relations, we see many promises for measuring public relations “return on investment” or “ROI.” Unfortunately, there exists much confusion surrounding “Quantifying ROI” (a measureable financial return) and “Proving Value” (a subjective measure which changes from company to company and even from one person to another within the same company). We in public relations undermine our professionalism by using these terms interchangeably (while the C-Suite certainly knows the difference).  In this session, we share case studies for both proving value and generating a return on investment.

Crisis Simulation Workshop: Handling Crises Involving Workplace Misconduct and Harassment
Companies and organizations worldwide are newly challenged by workplace misconduct and behavioral crises that are mortgaging corporate culture, prompting employee activism, and impacting the bottom line.  At the same time, most Boards and C-suite executives are not prepared nor equipped to engage and respond to the crises that gender-based workplace misconduct presents running the gamut from investigations and decisional protocols to culture audits and training.   
This dynamic exercise challenges participants to make fast twitch decisions about needed resources, governing principles, and dispositive action that will protect corporate reputation, build trust, save the bottom line, and exit a misconduct crisis as a better organization.
