The rules of communication have evolved, and comms pros must change with it.
- Future-proof your comms strategy
- Measure your success
- Learn AI
- Improve business fluency
- Control crises
- Build a great employee culture
- Create compelling communications

AI is rewriting workflows, employees expect personalized and authentic experiences, and algorithms determine what voices get heard.
Join us April 21-23 in the heart of Boston for Ragan’s Employee Communications & Culture Conference so you can stay relevant and keep your seat at the table. You’ll walk away with practical and innovative ideas to implement back in the office — or in home offices and hybrid workplaces — that will keep employees engaged and productive. Learn how to supersize your strategies and elevate your comms even as you forge connections and share knowledge with industry peers and colleagues.
From manager communications and newsletters that really work to upskilling for AI (and incorporating agents into your workflow), you’ll leave this conference with the tools you need to build a better work environment. Explore sessions on thought leadership, case studies on how leading organizations are using AI, interactive exercises and engaging instruction from experts in the trade.
Don’t react to change — lead it. Join us to future-proof your comms strategy, sharpen your skills, and connect with peers facing the same urgent challenges. This is where communicators shape the next era of influence.

WONDERING IF YOU SHOULD ATTEND?
Here’s what past attendees are saying about Ragan and PR Daily Events!
Thank you, Ragan, for another amazing conference! Great content, thought leadership, and a chance to hang around and connect with my people! I always feel refreshed, optimistic, and excited when I leave these events!
This was my first Ragan conference. I had never heard of Ragan before, but my eyes were opened to the excellent learning opportunities and network of professionals who all have similar roles. I'm grateful for the inspiration that was shared at and I look forward to attending more events in the future.
Ragan's Employee Communications & Culture Conference exceeded all my expectations! Being surrounded by other comms pros who shared the same challenges and creative solutions was incredibly refreshing. The discussions I had before, during and after the sessions were so valuable. I made meaningful connections that I know will continue beyond the event. This conference wasn’t just informative—it was inspiring, energizing and exactly what I needed to take my work to the next level!
I found Ragan's Employee Communications & Culture Conference at the perfect time. In a period when I needed to be reminded of the community that exists in the Internal Communications profession, I found a knowledgeable, experienced and friendly network that has refreshed and reenergized the approach to work I've been doing for decades. I'm not sure what took so long for me to find Ragan, but I'm so grateful I did.
Ragan's Employee Communications & Culture Conference was terrific. The speakers ran the gamut from heartfelt, funny real-life stories to hard core data driven sessions. I enjoyed it and hope to attend another in the future!
