Canada’s top PR experts come to Whistler for the 2023 Elevate Conference hosted by the Canadian Public Relations Society
WHISTLER – June 5, 2023 – Public relations and communications thought leaders, experts and practitioners gathered in Whistler on the unceded, traditional territory of the Squamish Nation and Lil’wat Nation. The Canadian Public Relations Society (CPRS) launched day one of its three-day “Elevate” conference.
CPRS National Board President, Vincent Power, APR, FCPRS opened the conference. He acknowledged the ancestral territory on which the conference was taking place. He also shared with the attendees some of the experiences in which they were about to partake this week including a full slate of sessions and workshops specifically aimed at professional development for the communications and public relations professionals attending. The Awards of Excellence gala on Monday night will also be a highlight of the week as communications and public relations professionals are recognized for personal achievement and high-caliber campaigns.
For the next three days, delegates will discuss the future of the profession, the broader issue of taking care of ourselves, our clients and our communities as well as inclusion: making a seat at the table for everyone.
“This Conference would not have been possible without the commitment of the Conference Programming Committee and the Vancouver-based Local Advisory Committee,” said Mr. Power. “These two groups have worked tirelessly to bring this conference to life and to ensure a meaningful experience for all participants. I also acknowledge our sponsors for their support, the CPRS National Office team for their planning and dedication, and my fellow Board members for their leadership as we come together to participate in this very special event.“
