The beginning of the semester brought some great Regional Conferences<\/a> in Alabama, Massachusetts and North Carolina, but we\u2019re only a third of the way through the Conference lineup. California State University, Fullerton, is coming up March 11\u201312 in the heart of sunny Orange County, with speakers from various areas of public relations giving insights into The Next Generation of PR. The following weekend will be two different Conferences, one in the center of the public relations industry at Hofstra University in New York, and the other in up-and-coming Detroit, hosted by Wayne State University and Michigan State University. Still figuring out spring break plans? Maybe one of these Conferences should be included!<\/p>\n

California State University, Fullerton, is excited to host a Regional Conference in beautiful Orange County, California. Our Conference is a two-day event where we dedicate our time to inspire and inform the next generation of public relations professionals. Learning from the past, working in the present and looking toward the future is what we want to achieve. We start our weekend with trips to local Orange County agencies such as Global Results Communications and Taco Bell. As a fun way to welcome our attendees, we invite them to cosmic bowling where they will have a chance to network with OC PRSA Young Professionals.<\/span><\/p>\n

While on the topic of PRSA, Todd Cooley, who is currently a director on the National Board, will be our keynote speaker. We are lucky to have him. #NextGenPR has great sessions, which include topics like food, entertainment, skills for a 21st century public relations professional and diversity in the industry. To thank our attendees for participating, we have a special giveaway at the end of the Conference. Let\u2019s just say, Orange County may be the happiest place on earth.
