Hear from panelist Caroline Reinwald on why The Message Matters: Media Training & PR Essentials is a must-attend conversation for communications professionals!
In this video, Caroline shares what attendees can expect to learn from the panel, from strengthening spokesperson strategy and sharpening message discipline to preparing for high-pressure media moments.
If you work in public relations, you know how quickly one question, one clip, or one headline can shape public perception. That’s why this session brings together former journalists who now lead in PR to offer practical insight on what reporters listen for, how stories get framed, and how communicators can stay clear, confident, and in control of the message.
Join us for an engaging and practical discussion, plus time to connect with fellow professionals before and after the panel.
