AI’s Impact on Communication Evaluation + AGM

Evaluation is an important part of a communications strategy. With artificial intelligence playing a large role in all aspects of the public relations profession, what impact does it have when it comes to evaluation? This fireside chat will explore how communication professionals can use AI in evaluating a communications strategy, campaign, or other data such as website analytics. It will also delve into the ethics of using AI and the best practices.

June Communication Coffee Chat: Join Us!

The June Coffee Chat will be held at the Ark Coffee and Bistro (16731 84 St NW, Edmonton) starting at 10 a.m. on Saturday, June 15. You don’t need to RSVP or be a CPRS Edmonton member, as this event is free and open to everyone. Feel free to bring a fellow communicator or two along with you. See you there!
