Two years ago, we gathered for a Lunch & Learn to explore what was then a brand-new and rapidly emerging tool: AI. The conversation was exploratory—curious, cautious, and wide-ranging. Many of us were just beginning to test what these platforms could do.

Two years later, the landscape has changed dramatically.

Join us for an updated session on AI in public relations—what’s evolved, what actually works, and how communications professionals are integrating these tools into their daily practice.

We’ll cover:

• The differences between major AI platforms and how they compare

• Niche tools like Grammarly, Otter.ai, and other workflow enhancers

• Practical use cases: research, writing, message development, analysis, and image generation

• Where AI adds value—and where human judgment remains essential

This session will be practical, candid, and grounded in real-world communications work. Whether you’re experimenting cautiously or already integrating AI into client work, you’ll leave with clearer frameworks and actionable insight.
