WASHINGTON, Feb. 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Some of the country's top communications and public affairs officers will engage at the 6th National Summit on Strategic Communications, May 4-5, 2015 at the Washington Plaza Hotel, in Washington, DC.

The Strategic Summit, held annually in Washington, DC and London, draws high marks from speakers and delegates alike.
Croatia's new President Kolinda Grabar-Kitarovic, who participated in the 5th Strategic Summit as NATO Assistant Secretary General, said: "Sitting in the National Summit on Strategic Communications, I have truly been inspired by so much of what has been said. As someone who has been working very intensely in communications and in international organizations, I've learned a lot throughout these two days. I hope that this Summit continues and grows."
