The Public Relations Society of America Montana Chapter is thrilled to invite communications, PR and marketing professionals to the highly anticipated 2023 Ignite Conference, October 9 – 10, in beautiful downtown Missoula, MT. An evening welcome reception will be held at Finn Restaurant on Sunday, October 8, to set the stage for the two-day conference.
Conference attendees will be among the northwest's top communications, marketing and PR professionals. This year, we invite junior and senior college students to join the conversation as national guest speakers present on leadership, DEIA, trends in Marcom, crisis communications, content creation and more. Attendees will network with and learn from field experts who will equip them with the tools to easily navigate their ever-evolving roles.
The event will be held at the DoubleTree by Hilton Missoula Edgewater in the heart of downtown Missoula. The conference will commence with a keynote presentation by Microsoft's Kari Dilloo, Director of Microsoft 365 Small-Medium Business. A Montana native, Kari will share her experience and unique perspective honed while working for notable companies like Xbox, Expedia and L'Oréal.
PRSA Montana's annual conference is a prime opportunity for communications, PR, and marketing professionals to network, learn and ignite their passion while being coached by some of the best in the business.
