PRWEEK HEALTHCARE CONFERENCE + AWARDS
The second annual PRWeek U.S. Healthcare Conference & Awards showcase and celebrate the best campaigns, projects, agencies, in-house teams and individuals across the fast-growing healthcare and pharmaceutical PR sectors.
Healthcare has long been an essential part of the PR economy, spanning pharmaceuticals, hospital systems, public health, medical devices and care providers.
This specialist area of communications has taken on an even more crucial role in the ecosystem over the past two years, especially during the COVID-19 crisis, which created huge challenges across all sectors. Almost every story or narrative is now told through a healthcare lens and purpose marketing has put greater emphasis on organizations to hone their messaging.
PRWeek’s awards program will honor those best practices that are spearheading one of the most dynamic, innovative and important areas of the PR industry, and providing inspiration everyone can draw from.
The Conference + Awards will take place at City Winery on May 24, 2023.
