About this Event

Join us on Saturday, October 11, at 10 am at Saint Vincent College: Conference Room at Fred Rogers Center for an engaging panel discussion exploring how public relations professionals are shaping Western Pennsylvania's economic future through collaboration and community-focused storytelling. Our diverse panel of regional leaders will share insights on how effective communications strategies can break down silos between counties, industries, and sectors to create a unified narrative that attracts investment, talent, and tourism to our region. From promoting natural attractions and cultural treasures to building academic-industry partnerships and amplifying success stories through media, discover how PR skills can directly contribute to economic development.

You'll Learn:

  • How tourism, academia, and media collaborate to strengthen regional economic narratives
  • Career pathways in PR that make meaningful community impact
  • Practical strategies for cross-sector partnership building
  • Real-world examples of communications campaigns that drove economic results
  • How to leverage your PR expertise for broader community leadership
