In the world of public relations, the only thing that is constant is change. During the 2010 Southern Public Relations Federation (SPRF.org) regional conference, Evolution 2010, to be held September 26-28, attendees will learn about the latest trends, how to maximize their effectiveness in their job, reenergize their career, and network with fellow Gulf Coast practitioners.
The three-day conference, hosted this year by the Public Relations Association of Louisiana, will feature a variety of nationally renowned speakers, media and crisis communication panels, information-packed breakout sessions, as well as student sessions -- a first for the regional conference. The event will be held at the historic and newly restored Hilton Capitol Center in downtown Baton Rouge.
Sunday evening's welcome reception will feature Louisiana native, Kevin Sekhani and his band outside on the Hilton’s pool deck overlooking the Mississippi River. Monday night's Wine Walk and stroll around downtown Baton Rouge at a variety of bars and restaurants will be a great opportunity for conference attendees to network.
National speaker and author, Jean Gatz, addresses thousands each year on improving people performance. As one of Evolution 2010's keynote speakers, she will present Business As Usual is Over, The Survivor’s Guide for Change. Additionally, Evolution 2010 will include an assorted array of breakout sessions that will enable attendees to choose topics most applicable to their job responsibilities or career aspirations. Some of the speakers and topics include: Ed Schipul (Twitter: @eschipul), "Personal Branding Era: Opportunities and Threats"; Michael Gass (@Michaelgass), "A Formula for Fueling Agency New Business Through Social Media"; Stephanie Riegel, "Media Training Refresher"; Greg Cangialosi (@gregcangialosi), "How Email Marketing Augments PR Campaigns"; and Davina Brewer (@3HatsComm), "Kicking the Tires, Vetting the Client: Advice for Solo Independent and Freelance Pros."
