Corporate communications pros will be able to exchange ideas and information on the issues facing the profession at the 2018 Corporation Communication Conference, to be held at Baruch College in New York from May 29 to June 2.

Presented by Corporate Communication International, the conference will feature presentations by FleishmanHillard senior VP Adam Yates; Alan Kelly, author of The Elements of Influence and the founder and director of Playmaker Systems; and former CapitalOne senior VP of corporate affairs Richard Woods. There will also be several panel discussions that address “Culture, Crisis and Choices in Digital Communication.”

Two pre-conference workshops will be offered May 29. Patricia Scott, president and CEO of Uhmms, a company that shows clients how to “lead, speak and inspire,” will talk about the principles behind producing an engaging slide presentation. Roslyn Petelin, who teaches in the editing and publishing program at the University of Queensland, will discuss “Creating Credibility in Your Academic and Corporate Writing.”

The conference will take place in Baruch College’s William and Anita Newman Conference Center, at 151 East 25th Street. For more information about the event, or to register, go to CCI’s website.
