10th National Summit on Strategic Communications to take place in Washington, D.C. on April 25–26 at American University.

WASHINGTON, March 5, 2019 /PRNewswire/ — Some of the country's top public affairs and corporate communications executives, together with senior military officers, will assemble in Washington, D.C. on April 25–26 to identify innovative strategies designed to provide attendees with a leadership edge.

"Communications and marketing are intensely competitive professions. Getting any edge at all nowadays is hard to achieve," said Robert Grupp, Summit Director and Graduate Program Director at the University of Florida. "That's why the Strategic Summit historically showcases speakers who constantly learn, have an insatiable growth mindset and deliver results with incredible speed. The 2019 Summit speakers will be no exception!"

The 10^th National Summit on Strategic Communications takes place at Constitution Hall at American University near Massachusetts and Nebraska Avenues NW. A complete agenda, faculty list, and registration information are available at www.strategicsummit.com.

"Every year, our Summit speakers and panelists are chosen to share the ideas that no one else quite sees, or that groups don't yet understand well enough to execute," Grupp added. "These are digital trends and strategies with the most potential to change the game."

Participants from the United States, Belgium, Canada, China, Japan, and the United Kingdom are registered to attend.
