SUMMARY:25th Annual Kenneth Owler Smith Symposium -- "Diversity in an Age of Convergence: Conversity?"
DESCRIPTION:Diversity and Inclusion have long been topics of conversation in the PR/Communication profession. Despite numerous initiatives\, many feel — and data suggest — that our ranks don’t adequately reflect the society in which we live. \nAnd now comes the era of convergence — an era that will be the most prosperous in our profession’s history\, but only if we can attract people with the requisite new talents and perspectives. \nWhat happens when the Diversity and Convergence imperatives collide?  Have we entered a time of “Conversity?” What exactly are we trying to achieve\, and what do we do next? \nThese and other pressing questions will be on the table at the 25th Annual Kenneth Owler Smith Symposium. \n  \nClick here for details and registration information.
