Natalia Bucelnikova

The Future Communicators Accelerator, an event that will target the skills start-up entrepreneurs and communications professionals need, will take place Feb. 6-7, 2019 in San Francisco. Natalia Bucelnikova, CEO of Moscow-based Buman Media, is FCA’s founder. The program borrows heavily from the concept of an accelerator, but also focuses on traditional learning methods such as mentoring and personal development. Speakers at the event are set to include Hotwire global CEO Barbara Bates, W2O Group senior advisor Bob Pearson, Highwire PR senior vice president Ross Levanto and WE Communications president, technology sector and chief strategy officer Katie Huang Shin. FCA is targeted at CEOs and managers of start-ups, mid-level PR and marketing managers with at least five to seven years’ experience who are aiming for a senior role, and consultants.
