Taste of Tech is a one-of-a-kind, one-day event that will educate PR professionals on how to best leverage PR technologies, tools and services. The June 3 PR News Taste of Tech, held during the Social Media Summit and in partnership with Commpro.biz, will be a memorable day of learning, networking, sampling and food tastings. There are three sponsorship levels: Bronze, Gold and Platinum. The Platinum is exclusive to one sponsor. Gold and Bronze are on a first come first served basis.

Taste of Tech will blend technology, case studies, advice and tactics so communicators can make more informed decisions about the day-to-day tools they use for everything from social media and crisis management to media relations and measurement. More than 300 decision makers are also expected to partake in this event.

The event offers the more than 350 attending communicators an opportunity to meet with the best service providers and learn how to manage their PR initiatives more effectively with innovative tools and technologies.
