TEN REASONS to attend the
National Conference in Indianapolis
BY KATIE RONZIO PRSSA NATIONAL CONFERENCE COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR
Located in the heart of the midwest, Indianapolis is known as “The Crossroads of America.”
National Conference will bring about 1,000 public relations students to Indy on Oct. 21–25 and
show them how to #LoveIndy. If you’re an ambitious public relations student who wants to jumpstart your professional career, then grab your fellow Chapter members and register for the PRSSA
2016 National Conference by Sept. 16.
#LoveTravel
Indianapolis is within a day’s drive
of two-thirds of the U.S. population. Ready to roadtrip with your
PRSSA Chapter?
If you're not that close, most
flights will be less than five hours
to Indy. Bonus: Indianapolis International Airport was recently rated
the best in North America by Airports Council International.
#LoveCulture
Indy is one of the most underrated
cities for millennials, according
to The Huffington Post. Interested in a gondola ride through the
city’s canal or a stroll through the
world’s largest children’s museum?
Indy has you covered. The city is
divided into six cultural districts,
each with its own unique spirit.

#LoveFood
Indianapolis’ food scene is no
joke. Condé Nast Traveler recently
named Indianapolis as one of the
best places in the country to grab
a delicious (and fairly priced) bite
to eat. Attend Conference sessions
by day and discover delicious
food by night. Grab a pub burger
at Scotty’s Brewhouse or see ice
cream made before your eyes with
liquid nitrogen at Sub Zero Ice
Cream.
