National Summit on Strategic Communications Attracts Top Corporate, Military and Government Leaders to Washington, D.C. on May 7-8
9th Annual Summit Features Coast Guard Commandant; Global Brands Including PayPal, Microsoft, Lenovo, Bayer, Verizon, PwC, Booz Allen and Takeda Pharmaceutical
WASHINGTON, April 3, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Some of the country's top public affairs and corporate communications executives, together with senior military officers, will assemble in Washington, D.C. on May 7–8 to identify innovative strategies designed to enable organizations to thrive in the face of turbulence.
"Disruption has become the catchall word to describe this period of transformative change," said Robert Grupp, Summit Director and Graduate Program Director at the University of Florida. "Collaboration and finding solutions can be difficult. It seems everyone has gone to war, for one point of view or another."
The 9th annual National Summit on Strategic Communications takes place at Constitution Hall on American University's new East Campus near Massachusetts and Nebraska Avenues NW. A complete agenda, faculty list, and registration information are available at www.strategicsummit.com.
"Every year, our Summit speakers and panelists are chosen to share the ideas that no one else quite sees, or that groups don't yet understand well enough to execute," Grupp added. "These are digital trends and strategies with the most potential to change the game."
Participants from the United States, Canada, China, Curacao, Ireland, Japan, Panama, Singapore, Turkey, and the United Kingdom are registered to attend.
