Greater Fort Worth Chapter of PRSA

08/26/2026

The Greater Fort Worth Chapter of PRSA wants to bridge the gap between in-house teams and freelance or small boutique agencies to usher in collaboration, create new business and build support for in-house teams to create impressive campaigns and lasting initiatives. Trailing off of last month's luncheon centered around a closer look at in-house and agency collaboration, we felt inspired by our speakers to get local creatives and teams together in one room and see if we could help create new partnerships among one another for a lasting effect.

This luncheon is a come and go, networking and mingling focused event. We will still have food and beverages, but most of the time will be focused on connecting with the vendors that will be present to pitch their services and see how they can help in-house teams. There will be vendors and contractors present from industries such as: marketing, agency, graphic design, writing, videography, photography, and creative strategy.

⏰11:30 a.m. - 1 p.m.
