Being back in the 'Burg is great but the SLC was an awesome. For those of you who were unable to attend. I highly recommend making it next year in Philly, you will make countless contacts and learn about industry knowledge that you can't get in the classroom.

While there I went to sessions ranging from non-profit organizations to career advancement & starting your own agency to diversity and advocacy. It was a great time. You are able to get information that many of your professors can't teach you because let's face it they are not in industry anymore. The industry is constantly changing, if you want the most recent trends and developments where better to get it than from industry leaders.

Not only do you get to listen to industry leaders but you also make contacts with the future leaders. There were over 800 students there from the some of the best PR programs in the country. I know that I made contacts that hopefully will turn into career-long friendships.
