Every year, members of the Public Relations Student Society
Of America (PRSSA) have the chance to attend a National Conference. The conference
is in a new city every year. Typically the city is picked based on the
diversity, economic growth, and opportunities for public relations students
offered. This year the conference location is Atlanta, Georgia.
Atlanta is a thriving city filled with many great
professional opportunities. The city is home to many public relations firms
such as Edelman, Porter Novelli, Ketchum, Jackson Spaulding, and several
others. The city is also home to many iconic brands such as Coca Cola, General
Motors, Chick-Fil-a, CNN, and many more. Conference attendees will have the
chance to tour different companies, and firms as well as hear from the top
executives running the show. The opportunity for professional growth by
attending this conference is phenomenal. Attendees have the chance to network,
pick the brains of fortune 500 leaders, and work on their PR skills.
The conference is not all work and no play. Attendees have
the chance to explore Atlanta, and see what the city culture is all about. The
list of things to do in Atlanta is never ending. Atlanta is home to a word
class aquarium and zoo, Central Olympic Park, High Museum Of Art, Turner Field,
Martin Luther King Jr. National Historical Site, and so many more. The
conference begins this Friday November 5th. Atlanta is about to host
the largest public relations student group in the nation. Registrations for
this year is over, watch out for next years city selection.
Sam- I am looking forward to PRSSA’s National Conference. I can’t believe we are leaving tomorrow. Where has the time went? I have never been to Atlanta or a National Conference so it will definitely be a trip full of firsts. I am looking forward to touring some of the top firms and hear from their exec’s. Along with improving my PR skills, I can’t wait to spend some time with fellow members of PRSSA. I heard next year’s conference is in Indianapolis. Looks like we will find out this weekend!
