With the early days of September behind us, the back-to-school season is in full swing, lending itself to spotlighting academic conferences that give PR professionals a chance to
get ahead of the learning curve:
International Public Relations Research Conference: Hosted by the Institute for Public Relations and the University of Miami, it serves as a forum for presenting new PR
research.
BledCom International Public Relations Research Symposium: If you have the budget to travel to Slovenia, this conference highlights practitioner-friendly presentations from around
the world.
International Communications Association Conference: Though not PR-specific, the program encompasses beneficial communications techniques.
Association for Education in Journalism and Mass Communication Convention: Encapsulates the PR/comms/journalism relationship with insightful thought leadership.
Arthur W. Page Society/Tuck School of Business Academic Symposium: If you can get on the list for this small, high-level retreat, you will hear a combination of leading academics
and professionals debate the state of the industry.
