How Not to Lose Your Communications Job to AI

Join us on February 12, 2025, at the Northeast Portland campus of the University of Oregon, for a thought-provoking panel discussion on one of the most pressing topics of our time: “How Not to Lose Your Job to AI.”

As artificial intelligence transforms industries worldwide, professionals in journalism, communications, and marketing face unprecedented challenges and opportunities. Sponsored by the University of Oregon School of Journalism and Communication and Mac's List, this event will explore the critical question: How can we harness AI to elevate our careers rather than fear its potential to replace us?

• How AI is reshaping journalism, communications and public relations
• The AI skills you need to learn that are most attractive to employers
