Not sure if I’ll be able to attend this year

I’d love to see more of the developer side showcased more. What’s being planned for the platform and how to use it. I met with some of the experts on the floor about the updates that were coming last year and found that to be some of the best parts of the summit. Getting to beta test those new systems was also a great perk of summit.

I had the chance to be a presenter last year and it was an amazing experience.

    Traveling from Washington, DC!

  • Flying solo or attending with a team?
    Attending with my manager. We’re excited to attend since it’s been challenging to find a decent PR summit/conference to attend for professional development.

  • What topics, content, or conversations would you love to see here as we gear up for Summit 2026?
    We just switched to Meltwater, so any tips/tricks on how to incorporate it into our everyday use especially when it comes to reporting. Of course, leveraging AI to help streamline things.
