CHICAGO, IL (April 29, 2022) – PR Daily’s Media Relations & Measurement Conference will be held Wednesday, May 11 at the Yale Club in New York City and will feature a keynote address by CNN’s John Avlon.

The Media Relations & Measurement Conference will address how brands can increase their coverage in the media through the changing media landscape, the speed of the news cycle, and getting the attention of reporters, all while learning how to navigate through the disinformation and misinformation of today.

The conference will cover topics such as maximizing reputation and reach, creating compelling news, crafting winning pitches, increasing media placement, master media interviews, increasing PR ROI, tracking results with KPIs, and increasing recognition and reach. The conference will also feature a networking cocktail reception at the conclusion of the event.

During the fireside chat with Ragan CEO Diane Schwartz, John Avlon will discuss the ever-changing nature of media and the relationship between government, press and other stakeholders. He will also share insights on leadership and crisis management from his most recent book, Lincoln and the Fight for Peace. John is a renowned author, columnist, and commentator. He currently is a Senior Political Analyst and fill-in-anchor at CNN. Mr. Avlon’s career spans the media industry from winning the National Society of Newspaper Columnists award for best online column in 2012, to being editor-in-chief and managing director of The Daily Beast from 2013-2018, to serving as a chief speechwriter for New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani.
