NW CommCon 2026 was one to remember!
Last week, more than 150 communicators from across the Pacific Northwest (and beyond) gathered at the University of Oregon Portland campus for the sold-out Northwest Communicators Conference, presented by PRSA Oregon in partnership with PRSA Puget Sound Chapter.
Keynotes and panels covered the topics shaping our profession right now: leadership, AI, women in sports, the Gen Z mindset, crisis communication, leading with empathy and more. The conversations carried beyond the sessions and into evening mixers at The Sports Bra and McMenamins Pubs, Breweries & Historic Hotels Kennedy School.
As founder of Amico and president of PRSA Oregon, Kelliann Amico co-led the vision, planning and ex*****on of this year’s conference alongside conference chair Jonathan Yost. Our team couldn’t be prouder to have been part of it.
The resounding theme of the conference was a belief we care deeply about at Amico: strategic communication starts at the top. This conference was about encouraging leaders at every stage of their career to step into that reality.
Thank you to our community for coming together – every speaker, panelist, sponsor, volunteer and attendee who showed up.
See you next year!
