Conference Schedule

The 2026 PRSA Midwest District Conference—Bold Communicators in the Bold North—invites strategic communications professionals to embrace boldness in every sense. From breakthrough storytelling to leadership that inspires, this multi-day conference celebrates the power of PR to move organizations, communities and culture forward.


The conference will feature dynamic keynotes, thought-provoking general sessions and interactive discussions—all built around three high-level tracks known as the 3 Cs:


  • Community — Advancing inclusive, engaged and purpose-driven communication.
  • Connection — Building authentic relationships and leveraging tools, strategies and creative storytelling to foster collaboration and elevate the impact of our profession.
  • Change — Exploring innovative strategies and adaptive approaches that inspire transformation and move organizations and communities forward.
