Summer #PRmixer, June 18 at Place des Arts - This summer's definitive training and networking evening!

MONTRÉAL, June 6, 2013 /CNW/ - The summer #PRmixer, presented by CNW Telbec and ING DIRECT, will be held on June 18 at the Salon urbain in Place des Arts. This event - the ultimate summer gathering for public relations, communications and social media professionals - is an opportunity to network and expand your knowledge. For the first time ever, the cocktail reception will follow a presentation on content marketing, an increasingly popular topic in the communications world.

"We wanted to offer members of our community something different at this #PRmixer. A short presentation before the usual cocktail reception is an excellent way to combine business and pleasure," said Vincent White, #PRmixer co-founder.

"We felt that the burgeoning use of content marketing - essentially, the production and sharing of content (computer graphics, articles, videos, etc.) to generate dialogue between an organization and its various audiences, thus building consumer loyalty - is the ideal topic for showing how closely the public relations and marketing fields are tied together," added Alexandra Graveline, co-founder of #PRmixer.

Michael Pranikoff, Global Director of Emerging Media at PR Newswire, will therefore outline the issues associated with this trend and explain the benefits for communications professionals in their own practices. A prolific speaker, Michael participates in events around the world, discussing topics such as the growing convergence between PR and marketing, social media networks, search engines, the evolution of media and the press, etc. He is PR Newswire's digital issues specialist and contributes to a number of blogs, podcasts and newsletters.

This #PRmixer will feature another first: Attendees can make their way through the Lounge ING DIRECT, networking with other professionals and savouring a few oysters in a convivial atmosphere.

With DJ Abeille spinning the tunes and a special menu developed by Le Méchant Mangeur, an electrifying evening at the heart of the city's Quartier des spectacles awaits you!
