The Hosts

PR eLevated brings two downtown Chicago educational institutions together for one epic event for future public relations industry leaders.

 

DePaul University and Columbia College Chicago sit just steps apart in The Windy City's downtown 'Loop' neighborhood, mere blocks from some of the county's premiere communications agencies and in-house practices. The two institutions have joined forces to bring midwest attendees the best introduction to all that Chicago has to offer in the region's first in-person conference since 2020.
