Agenda
2:00p.m. How Is Distrust Impacting Public Affairs Communications
Poll after poll show Americans losing faith with the country’s major institutions: government, business and media. Many believe the nation’s influence is on the decline, and that efforts to reverse the slide have backfired. How should organizations attempt to navigate a skeptical or hostile communications environment? What role can public affairs professionals play in rebuilding trust in our society?
Our panel of senior-level communications experts will share the latest polling data, including the just-released 2019 Public Affairs Pulse survey, as well as tactics and strategies organizations need to:
- Establish authentic communications with angry, partisan, or frustrated audiences
- Channel common frustrations about the DC “swamp” into meaningful reforms
- Reinject optimism into policy and social debates

3:15p.m. Case Study: Combating Misconceptions with Transparency and Managing An Association’s Voice
What do you do when your industry’s business practices are in the spotlight? How do you get in the conversation and push back on misconceptions held by key contacts and the general public? How can a trade association engage and communicate for members with different policy goals? We’ll explore how organizations can choose to embrace transparency to impact the debate.
Learn how your organization can:
- Coordinate internal resources to develop a new public affairs strategy
- Engage in policy focused thought leadership
- Prepare senior leaders for high-stakes legislative events
