As with most conferences, we like to take a few photos and the annual Public Relations industry event, PRSA International conference is no different. Held in Detroit this year with attendee goals met and sponsor goals exceeded, there is a feel of optimism both about the city as esposed my Detroit mayor Ken Cockrel and by PRSA President Jeff Julin.
I personally started the conference on Saturday with a 4 hour workshop on SEO for Public Relations which included results of our Journalist Use of Search Survey. At 10am today I’m on a panel with Peter Himler, Rob Key and David Bradfield. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the first 2 days of PRSA 2008.
It wouldn’t be a proper PRSA conference roundup without a photo of PRSA President Jeff Julin

Speaking of Craig Newmark, here he is looking awfully dapper after the keynote on how social media makes us more Democratic
