Sometimes, I forget I’m still a student. The next month is one of those times. I’ll be attending and speaking at some upcoming PRSSA events in Chicago, Pittsburgh, East Lansing, Mich. and Austin. My posts might few and far between this month in trying to keep up with these events, my school work and other work stuff. Even so, I’m thrilled for these opportunities. Here’s where I’ll be:

• Chicago PR: Get in the Loop hosted by DePaul PRSSA. I’ve been itching to get back to Chicago for a while now, and what better time to schedule a trip when there is a conference. There is a star-studded program featuring some fantastic speakers and sessions. I’m looking forward to kicking back and enjoying this one, as well as reconnecting with some great students and Edelman colleagues.
• A PR Affair hosted by California University of Pennsylvania. This conference is focused on student-run firms and I’ll be speaking at this event on the topic. Since this is a huge part of my duties for the PRSSA National Committee, I’m excited to share my knowledge on firms and hope to help attendees start or improve their own firms.
• Expanding Your PR Horizons hosted by Michigan State University. Besides a quick update on happenings within PRSSA from a national standpoint, I get to enjoy this one, too. Scott Monty from Ford is keynoting this event, there are speakers coming to this event from around the country. Even better: registration is still open.
• PRSSA National Assembly in Austin. While I love National Conference, Assembly is a more intimate setting with fewer members than Conference and a leadership theme throughout the event. I love connecting with PRSSA members around the country and learning from them and their Chapters.

Will you be at any of these events? Let me know — I’d love to meet up.

Author’s note: A PR Affair has been rescheduled and unfortunately, it intersects with my travel plans for the PRSSA Assembly. Check out the rest of the conference; the deadline to register is May 5 and it should be a great program.
