Communicating in a Hyper-connected Era
Join CPRS Ottawa-Gatineau at The Bridge Public House as we kick off the season with an event you will not want to miss.
We are honoured to welcome Diane Riddell, PhD, APR, an accomplished researcher and communications professional, who will be sharing her cutting-edge research on how technology is reshaping the lived experience of public relations practitioners—and what it means for today’s communications and PR professionals in a hyper-connected era.
Diane has held senior communications roles with the RCMP, the Department of National Defence, and Defence Research and Development Canada. She has also taught at the University of Ottawa, presented at national conferences, and is an accredited CPRS member who has contributed as an accreditation examiner and National Awards of Excellence judge. This is a rare opportunity to gain insights from a leader whose work bridges both practice and academia.
That is not all…this evening will also feature a special announcement you will not want to miss.
You will also meet the newly elected CPRS Ottawa-Gatineau Board of Directors, the dedicated team leading our chapter into an exciting new year. Come for the inspiration, stay for the connections.
Enjoy drinks, food, and a night of networking and laughter with your peers.
Do not miss this chance to reconnect, discover new opportunities, and set the tone for a successful year ahead.
