Belatedly back for 2024, First Thursdays are a chance for Auckland PRs to catch up in an informal setting, make or renew acquaintances and swap tales from the trenches. There’ll always be a couple of Northern Committee members around, so they’re also a good opportunity to share your thoughts on how we can continue to engage the PR community here in Tāmaki Makaurau.

We are delighted to have the incredible Kirsty Von Minden share a virtual presentation on mental health & resilience, the science of stress in the context of 21st century living, the pandemic and the current climate of constant change and uncertainty.

Kirsty will investigate where stress comes from and what’s happening when we are in the stress response, and how stress is wearing down our health, energy and performance. In this workshop we will explore why stress itself is not the problem and what we can instead shift our focus to, to rewire our own brains for calm and resilience. All with a self-led wellbeing practice that only takes a few minutes a day.

Step into the future of Public Relations with our exclusive speaker event led by artificial intelligence expert Justin Flitter. This event and networking opportunity is designed to unravel the complexities of AI technology and how you can use it within a PR context. Embrace the opportunity to explore how AI is not just reshaping the PR landscape but is set to revolutionise our profession.

Since Covid the topic of employee engagement has been high on the agenda for many organisations and for many different reasons. And as we continue into what could be a difficult year for many workplaces, keeping employees engaged will be more important than ever.

It’s a classic case of same time, same place for April’s First Thursday Auckland PR gathering. From the sense of jeopardy that hangs over our broadcast news media, to the rise of AI via the disparate communication styles of the Coalition Government, there’s plenty of opportunity to talk shop – or you may just want to swap Fred Again stories. Either way, head over to HP on Thursday to join members of the PRINZ Northern Committee and your peers from across the industry for an informal gathering. We look forward to seeing you there.
