Is your crisis communication plan ready for the unexpected?

Back for another year, the virtual half-day PRCA Crisis Comms Conference gathers top industry professionals and thought leaders under one digital roof. Join us for an immersive experience designed to equip attendees with the latest knowledge and practical know-how to navigate the ever-shifting terrain of crisis communications.

This is the event for you if you’re keen to sharpen your crisis communication skills and stay ahead of the curve. The conference will tackle some of today’s most pressing issues, from navigating social controversies, to countering emerging threats. Hear thought-provoking fireside chats with industry leaders, (gleaning practical insights from their real-world experiences), as well as discussions on how to manage crisis communications in an election year.

The conference will also offer you a chance to test your crisis communication skills in a heart-pounding live simulation led by Polpeo. This 2-hour immersive experience will throw you a real-world scenario, allowing you to put your learnings from the previous sessions into action!
