Join us Tuesday, April 26, 2016


Professional communicators know a well-crafted story can alter our worldview. Now, a growing body of behavioral insights research confirms the power of stories to change attitudes, beliefs and behaviors. Who delivers the story is as important as the story itself, according to a new Institute for Public Relations (IPR) study.

Join us for a special summit with senior executives in communications, marketing and HR to learn more about how leading companies are putting these findings into practice, activating stories to shape culture, drive change and energize employees.

Space is limited—RSVP today.
