Professional Development

Each year, CPRS hosts an education conference. The event includes daily general sessions and concurrent educational programs pertinent to the practice of public relations as well as providing unique networking opportunities with public relations professionals from across Canada.

In addition to National efforts to continuing education, local Member Societies host workshops, seminars and tutorials throughout the year.

CPRS has negotiated special member rates with the Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) including their Special Interest Section events. However, you may not become a member of the Section. Educational offerings include home study programs, videos, conference attendance and PRSA Special Interest Section events. Check the PRSA website www.prsa.org or call their office at 212-460-1420 for upcoming events.

CPRS also promotes education excellence through its Education Standard and Curriculum Guide.
