PRSSA National Conference | Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

At the end of October, five of our E-board members attended PRSSA's National Conference in Philadelphia. The theme for this conference was "Foundation for Innovation". At this conference we were able to network and attend session about topics that each of us are interested in. These sessions ranged from sports to fashion, to healthcare and event planning. There was something for everyone!

Not only were we able to sit in on sessions, but we were also able to listen to other chapters speak about how their chapters have developed. We learned what works for certain chapters and what doesn't. 

The experience we had in Philly was incredible. I truly wish we could have brought our entire chapter to national conference, it was a weekend I will never want to forget. 

After every day of sessions, we were given free time to experience the insane amount of history that Philadelphia has to offer. It is the one of the oldest states, therefore it has more history that anyone will ever imagine. Learning more and more about public relations and getting the chance to experience the city was incredible.
