For several years now, CooperKatz & Company has been a proud member of the Public Relations Global Network (or PRGN), one of the world’s largest international public relations networks with more than 50 independent member firms. While there are numerous benefits to our membership, we always particularly enjoy joining other PRGN agency leaders and owners in major cities around the world at our twice annual member meetings.

These meetings are always great venues for knowledge sharing and insights. It’s a time for talking, connecting and digging deep into best practices. Read on for a summary of some of the key takeaways from our discussions.
