About the Event

Crisis Communications Boot Camp
October 2–3, 2025 | Omni Hotel, Los Angeles

The world has changed. Has your crisis plan kept up?

After 40 sold-out editions across Europe, the US, and Canada, the world’s most intense and practical crisis training experience finally arrives in California. This October, Los Angeles becomes the frontline — and you’re invited to join the communicators who don’t just survive crises... they lead through them.

In a post-face age of deepfakes, political division, online outrage and AI-powered misinformation, this isn’t just another PR workshop.

This is a two-day crisis command center, designed to arm you with the tools, instincts, and strategy needed to lead your brand through the fire — and come out stronger.

Why You Can’t Afford to Miss This:

  • Fight Disinformation with Precision: Joy Lambert (Edelman) reveals how to detect and respond to AI-generated lies before they become tomorrow’s headlines.
  • Lead in a Permacrisis: Michelle Agnew (The Coca-Cola Company) delivers real-world strategies for navigating endless uncertainty — and earning trust when the stakes are highest.
  • Survive Cancel Culture Without Losing Your Brand: Brandi Boatner (IBM) shows you how to build a resilient reputation and communicate with clarity when the world turns on you.
  • Communicate Through Chaos: Angela Ingram (Louisville Metro Police Department) shares hard-won lessons from high-pressure incidents where lives, trust, and institutions are on the line.
  • Speak Up Without Burning Out: Sean Greenwood (Ben & Jerry’s) walks you through how to take a stand on political and social issues — without sacrificing brand credibility or integrity.
  • Rewrite Your Crisis Plan in Real Time: On Day 2, join our immersive Crisis Simulation Workshop with Jon Meakin — a full-day, hands-on experience that will challenge, break, and rebuild your crisis strategy to withstand today’s realities.

This Isn’t a Drill. It’s the Training You’ve Been Waiting For.
