Testimonials from the 6th PR & Communications Summit, which took place in July, 2010 at the Pfizer World Headquarters in New York:

“I really enjoyed it and felt that my attendance at the conference was time well spent.”

“Loved the meeting – nicely done!”                                                                                        

“Thanks to you and your team for putting together a fantastic conference.  My colleagues and I plan on attending next year.”

“Thank you for organizing such a great event. I have learned how to better mold messaging for our corporate partners.  I hope to see you next year!”

“Extremely knowledgeable and experienced speakers discussing highly relevant and important topics.”

In a time of regulatory, economic and political change, the role of communications professionals continues to rise in relevance and importance. Public Relations is an art and a science that, if harnessed properly, can dramatically increase the likelihood of short-term and long-term success of pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device companies. With drying up pipelines, mounting competition, and an increasingly digital and “on demand” world, companies need to have adept, compliant and responsible internal and external communicators in place that are ready to meet the challenges of such a complex environment. For many types of new communication, we are beyond the point of “can we” and are now at the stage of determining “how.”

The 7th PR & Communications Summit is not simply a forum where communicators can come together discuss their challenges, but a place where realistic solutions are debated and case study examples of success shared. The event features top pharmaceutical public relations executives, physician thought leaders, and regulators, all providing valuable insight on the most important issues that the industry is facing today. Topics such as measurement of social media, private-public partnerships, and mergers and acquisitions are examined, with particular emphasis on how communicators can affect positive change for patients, companies, the life sciences industry and the broader healthcare community.

We look forward to greeting you in July at the number one event for industry communicators!
