“In an age where stories can go viral in seconds, our responsibility is to look beyond visibility and ask what kind of trust, values, and legacy our communication leaves behind,” said Ana Pista, APR, President of PRSP. “This Congress brings together diverse voices to help us navigate that responsibility with greater purpose and integrity.”
“We designed the Congress around the realities communicators face today—from dealing with the proliferation of disinformation that challenges the authenticity of brand narratives to coming to terms with the widespread use of artificial intelligence; from leveraging the creator economy and optimizing influencer partnerships to agreeing on measuring the tangible impact of our PR efforts, and ultimately, doing our bit to harness PR in building a better world for the next generation,” said Ed Timbungco, APR, Chair of the 33rd National PR Congress.
