    Let the Conferencing Continue!
           Brigham Young University PRSSA Chapter
           Jared Gay, Alyssa Call, Amy Harrison
How did YOU get to National Conference?
  Did you receive financial help?
  Catch a ride?
  Come because of your leadership position?



        What if the reason you got to National Conference went away?


  This is the reality for many PRSSA members, they cannot make it to National
  Conference and enjoy the experience here.



              BUT – they can attend a REGIONAL CONFERENCE!


  Help your members find the value in attending a Regional
  Conference!

Hinweis der Redaktion

  1. To illustrate the top five whys of attending regional conferences, I am going to use specific examples from our experience at our conference. Many of the examples overlap in what they provide, but that is one of the great things about regional conferences--every event contributes to the learning and professional development process.From speakers such as Michael Smart, who is also presenting at this conference, we learned a practical method of effective pitching. Through the other speakers at our break out sessions we gained public speaking, research and social media skills. We got small, applicable instructions that we could apply right away regardless of our previous experience.
  2. What is networking??Much of the networking at regional conferences can occur during the meals. We had a catered lunch and business dinner as a part of our conference which gave PRSSA members a chance to network with each other and professionals in both a casual and more formal setting. Peers: These individuals will be your future colleagues. Help each other find jobs/internships.Professionals: Job/Internship and Future
  3. Much of the professional advice PRSSA members received came from the keynote speakers at the regional conference. Some of the advice was specific about handling specific situations, other advice was general. We received humorous advice and some that was very serious and practical.
  4. 4. Industry Information (Crisis Challenge)a. Learni. Crisis Communications-Chris Thomasii. Corporateiii. Researchiv. Non-profitv. Social Media
  5. PR High (Last day-gives you the springboard)a. Everyone is so excitedb. Bounce ideas off of each otherc. Share experiences
  6. Mention that it takes a group of 5 students to plan and a minimum of 20 students to pull of the conference during the conference.
