The event will be April 9 at 6:00 pm, open to all members. Click the link for tickets and more information.

It’s hard to scroll through the news these days without seeing AI in the headline.

For those of us in communications, this shift is both fascinating and complex. AI is reshaping how we create, distribute, and measure content — and naturally, many of us are asking what the future of our profession will look like as this technology continues to evolve.

To support communicators navigating this change, IABC has partnered with Axios HQ to offer a free series: Comms in the Age of AI. The series explores practical applications, ethical considerations, and what this moment means for our work.

You can access the free series here:

A three part, expert-led series on what's next in comms.
