With my extensive background in integrated, measurable communications, I am often invited to speak at industry and training events on integrated communications, measurement, social media, crisis communications, media relations and communications strategy. I’m equally comfortable speaking to students and young professionals, at public relations conferences with thousands of attendees, to professional development organizations, or to high-level executives focused on economic development.

Select speaking engagements in recent years include the 2007, 2008 and 2009 Vocus Users Conferences, the 2008 Institute for Public Relations Measurement Summit, Ragan Communications’ 2009 Corporate Communicators Conference (where they had to move me from a breakout room to the main ballroom due to the crowd – it was quite funny), PRSA’s (Public Relations Society of America) 2008 and 2009 International Conferences, and the final BlogPotomac in 2009.

Here’s an example of a webinar I did a while back (click on the hyperlink to view the archived webinar). And this is my take on “practical solutions to measurement conundrums,” that I presented at PRSA’s 2009 International Conference (and which you’ll be able to see later this year as a webinar).

“A delight to hear;” “great speaker, relevant information;” “[I found] Shonali Burke’s presentation and generous advice greatly helpful;” these are typical of attendee feedback on my presentations.
