Beyond the Headlines: How Venues and Cities Shape the Narrative — Crisis and Celebration

Every venue has a story — and not all of it makes the news for the right reasons. This session explores both sides of PR: how venues and cities respond when things go wrong, and how they capitalize on the moments worth celebrating. Through real-world examples, panelists will break down what effective crisis communication looks like, the venue-city coordination that needs to happen before a reporter calls, and how to recognize and amplify positive stories that often go untold.
