Jason Damata, CEO of Fabric Media, will share insights as a leading public relations agency working with media companies. Rida Bint Fozi, President of The TASC Group, will contribute her extensive knowledge of public affairs and advocacy campaigns, highlighting the role of strategic communications in shaping public perception.
Shelley Spector, the founder and CEO of The PR Museum, will provide a historical perspective on how communication strategies have evolved in response to political changes. Melanie Gaiser, Group Vice President at Ruder Finn, will share expertise from one of the industry's top global communications agencies known for its work in healthcare, technology, and corporate reputation management. Bill Davies, CEO of Racepoint Global, will discuss how his firm helps companies leverage data-driven storytelling and strategic public relations to influence global markets.
With limited spots available for attendees to actively participate, this Town Hall provides a rare opportunity to exchange insights with top industry minds. Whether tackling reputation management challenges, adapting to the evolving media landscape, or leveraging new technologies, this discussion will offer actionable takeaways to keep professionals ahead in the ever-changing communications and PR industries.
