In Today’s Changing World Economy
The worldwide collaborative network of PR firms, PR Boutiques International™ (PRBI), will gather for its annual meeting and fifth anniversary celebration at the University Club in New York City on May 31 – June 2, 2012.

“PRBI’s first meeting was held in New York, and we are excited to return for our fifth anniversary with a larger network of senior practitioners,” said Bill Cowen, PRBI’s President. “The tough economic climate of the last several years has convinced many companies of the value of the boutique PR agency. Consequently, we will celebrate our fifth year as an international network with a roster of members that delivers outstanding results and a positive outlook towards the future.”
During the three-day meeting, which is only open to PRBI members firms, participants will welcome industry leaders to discuss topics in agency operations and communication including:
