WONDERING IF YOU SHOULD ATTEND?
Here’s what past attendees are saying about Ragan and PR Daily Events!
Fantastic conference! It was great to see a blend of Internal Comms, employee well-being, and ERGs/BRGs discussed in the same room. It was also great to engage with an appropriately sized audience -- not too small to feel like you were always in a working group, and not too large that you couldn't network a bit. It was perfect!
Ragan's Employee Experience Conference was informative and engaging. I left feeling more aware, educated, and equipped to address and advocate for these specific areas within my organization. In addition, I connected with other communicators to share ideas and resources.
Great conference with timely and relevant topics for today’s work environment. The networking opportunity is perfect to share and learn from each other.
This was one of the best conferences I've attended in a long time. The topics were relevant and on-point, the speakers were dynamic and knowledgeable, and the whole atmosphere was buzzing with energy and engagement. I brought a wealth of ideas, initiatives and connections back to my office, and I'm already looking forward to next year's event.
This was my first Ragan conference and I hope it won't be my last. I met so many likeminded people facing the same challenges as I am. I walked away enthusiastic and filled with new ideas and practical implementations to enhance my company's employee experience.
