After arriving late last night in San Diego, we woke up to register at the Holiday Inn for the PRSSA National Conference in San Diego.

The Pearce Davies Alpha Chapter of PRSSA brought 14 students to the National Conference. We look forward to learning from other students and professionals. Be sure to follow our Twitter and the National Conference hashtag for real-time updates from the conference.

In October the Pearce Davies Alpha Chapter of PRSSA at San Jose State University submitted a regional activity bid. We are happy to announced that we have been selected to host our third straight regional activity. The officers are already working hard on preparing a timeline and roster of speakers that will give members the most bang for their buck.

Here’s some more information about this upcoming regional activity:

• Date: March 19-20, 2009
• Location: SJSU Campus
• Pricing: TBA (will remain similiar to the previous activity)

This regional activity is titled, “The Survivor’s Guide to Public Relations,” and will go over a high level overview of a career in public relations. The wide variety of speakers and subjects will help pinpoint where you would like to take your career.

We look forward to delivering more information about our regional activity as the event comes closer. Be sure to tune into our Facebook fan page for more information.

In an effort to spread the knowledge that come for our meeting, we are going to try to live blog the conversations that occur. Tonight we will be hearing from Matt Podboy of Voce Communications about starting his agency.
