The PRSSA National Conference is the closest thing the public relations industry has to a super bowl.<\/p>\n

Featuring an all-star cast of guest speakers from the likes of Southwest Airlines, IBM and SXSW and wrapped up in one of the country\u2019s coolest cities, this year\u2019s Conference certainly won\u2019t disappoint.<\/p>\n

So, as your PRSSA 2018-2020 National Professional Adviser<\/a>\u2014 whose sole mission is to make sure you develop into an outrageously successful professional \u2014 you should do everything in your power to attend.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s why:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Connections to Last a Lifetime.<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    I was recently at a wedding and you know what blew me away (besides the beauty of the bride and groom)? The volume of PRSSA contacts in attendance.<\/p>\n

    Two living legends, countless thought leaders and more rising stars than you could challenge to a dance-off.<\/p>\n

    The groom had built these connections at one of several attended National Conferences. These are his mentors, his colleagues and his closest friends. And these connections have made the difference in his career and life.<\/p>\n

    Attend National Conference and you might very well have a similar story.<\/p>\n

    You\u2019ll have the opportunity to meet peers from across the country and world, not to mention professionals at every turn.<\/p>\n

    And networking isn\u2019t as hard as you think \u2014 showing up and saying hello is half the battle.<\/p>\n
