One symposium a year is not enough!

After another sold-out spring event, PRSA Charlotte has added a second opportunity to learn and connect: our first-ever Fall Communications Symposium.

We're excited to share the full agenda with you here. Whether you're looking to sharpen your skills, gain fresh perspectives or expand your network, this is a day you won't want to miss!

We'll start the day with our opening keynote: What Will Break Your Brand Next? The Reputational Risks You're Not Ready For, as Brent Gambill, Managing Director of Track Communications at NASCAR leads us through an exploration of the emerging threats reshaping communications.  

At the end of the day, we're pleased to announce our closing keynote: Reputation Resilience Redefined, featuring James Donnelly, EVP of Issues & Crisis at M Booth Communications. James will draw from years of supporting crisis and reputation management for major global brands, bringing us strategies to address the top five challenges to trust and reputation in 2026.

In addition to these two standout keynotes, attendees can choose from a wide range of breakout sessions covering AI and ethics, strategic influence, video storytelling, gaining mental toughness, and a deep dive into strategic campaigns with local Silver Anvil winners.  View the full agenda here: (link)
