About this Event


Join Colleen Killingsworth, MCM, APR, FCPRS, co-author of Rethinking the Table: Women Leaders in Public Relations in Canada, for an interactive book club–meets–professional development session exploring gender, leadership, and mentorship in Canadian PR.

Through stories shared by PR practitioners from across the country, this conversation will uncover how women in PR have navigated the challenges of representation, balance, and technology — while inviting everyone to imagine what it means not just to have a seat at the table, but to rethink the table entirely.

Bring your voice to an evening of reflection, insight, and connection!
A welcoming, conversational environment with a nice reception and light food will be provided.

This session will appeal to:

  • Women in PR seeking community and inspiration
  • Men and allies who support an equitable, inclusive culture
  • Students and professionals eager to understand leadership through a gendered lens

Bring your experiences and join a conversation about:

  • Leadership and mentorship
  • Gender, diversity, and inclusion
  • The intersection of technology and advocacy
