In A Word: April 3-5, 2011

How would you describe a PRCA conference?

In a word…PRCA conferences are educational. Informative. Entertaining. And in 2011, it’s all about the words.

The 2011 conference theme, In A Word, is a nod to the various forms of writing we all encounter in our practice of public relations. Writing for news media. Writing for the Web. Speechwriting. Visual communications. Telling your story. Telling your company’s story. It’s all about the words. 

Mark your calendars now to join us in Birmingham on April 3-5, 2011 at the brand new Embassy Suites Birmingham-Hoover.  Stay tuned to PRCAonline.com in coming months for speaker announcements and other conference news.

Julie Keith

Editor, Birmingham Magazine

 

Bio: Julie Keith has been in magazine publishing for 17 years, after graduating from Auburn with BA and MA degrees in English. Her first job was as an assistant editor with Symbol of Excellence Publishers (now Hoffman Media), a niche publishing group that at the time focused on craft and needlework titles. From there she went on to edit Alabama magazine for a year, until she was hired by Meredith Corporation, publishers of Better Homes and Gardens and Ladies Home Journal, to manage their crafts division. After 5 brutally cold winters in Des Moines, Iowa, Julie; her husband Todd, a freelance writer; and their new baby Collins, moved back to Birmingham, where she edited Portico magazine for 5 years. She and Todd launched Thicket, a statewide magazine, with some of their former Portico colleagues in the winter of 2008. Julie took the job as editor of Birmingham magazine in August 2009. She and Todd live in Homewood with Collins, now 9, and their second son Fletcher, who is 4.
