We Built the Brand: PRSA Hosts 2009 Communications Conference

 

About 100 people responded to the call to learn about building brands and assorted related topics at the Northwest Arkansas PRSA chapter's professional development conference Oct. 13 at the John Q. Hammons Center in Rogers. Several prominent figures in public relations and media delivered several hours of tips and philosophies during panel discussions and breakout sessions. The day ended with a luncheon featuring a rousing address by a prominent local resident, ESPN basketball commentator Jimmy Dykes.
