Forecasts show 4 million VR units will be sold this year and 24 million units are expected to be sold in 2018. Innovative PR and digital marketing experts recognize VR is changing the communications landscape and are using it to capitalize on storytelling, media relations, and strengthen consumer relationships in ways no other technology can. Some experts say virtual reality is the most powerful storytelling method of our time, moving consumer behavior from \u201cseeing is believing\u201d to \u201cexperience is believing\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>This PRSA-Alaska program will:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Introduce you to the latest in VR technology and how it&#8217;s changing the communications landscape<\/li>\n<li>Share how VR can be used to strengthen connections between audiences and your organization and<\/li>\n<li>Help you to articulate the benefits of incorporating VR into your organizations communications strategy<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Andrew Cassel has been the social media administrator for the University of Alaska Fairbanks for the past five years and is a three time winner of PRSA-Alaska Awards of Excellence for social media campaigns.

We think so too! These opportunities, usually in the form of luncheons held each month, are a great way to improve your skills and network with peers in a similar profession. While PR professionals don\u2019t always love math and budgets, we do know that our revenue must meet our expenses. So, beginning this month, there will be a modest price increase for all professional development opportunities in Anchorage and Fairbanks. As always, members will still receive a discounted rate. Non-members will pay a slightly higher rate.
