Save the Date: RCCongress 2010 Slated for April 7-10

Interested in learning how other denominations and faiths handle communication? Need solutions for tough communication challenges? Want to make new friends and reconnect with peers? Open to exploring new ideas and tools?

Then plan to attend the Religion Communication Congress (RCCongress) next April in Chicago. The RCCongress is held only once every 10 years. Planners estimate that 1,200 communication professionals from around the globe — representing a broad spectrum of disciplines, faith traditions and theological perspectives — will attend the 2010 event.

RCCongress 2010 will be held April 7-10 at the Chicago Marriott Downtown on Michigan Avenue, the famed “Magnificent Mile." Communicators will gather to learn about the changing role technology is playing in our work, the changing perceptions of different religions and the heightened attention to faith in the public square. This international, interfaith event will include challenging plenary speakers, more than 50 skill-building workshops, expert roundtable discussion groups and networking and idea exchanges.

Who should attend? Regional, denominational and faith group communicators; ecumenical organization communication staff, church or other faith community communicators, clergy and seminarians interested in religious communications, persons involved in religion news or media relations, marketing and public relations, TV and radio production, fundraising or communication technology.

Presbyterian Communicators Network members are encouraged to attend RCCongress 2010 and PCN will host a luncheon for members in conjunction with the event. (For PCN members unable to attend the Chicago event, two regional PCN conferences are being planned for the fall of 2010; more information will be available soon.)
