Bend, Don't Break: How Adaptability Is Redefining the Future of Tech PR

August 25, 2026 3:00 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Daylight Time)

The technology industry runs on chaos, and right now, public relations is being reshaped by AI, shifting media dynamics and rising expectations for speed, relevance and trust. But the greatest risk facing communications professionals isn't the technology itself. It's rigidity.

In this session, Matt West will explore why adaptability, not expertise alone, is becoming the most critical capability for those in tech PR. Drawing from real-world experience and his book Bend, Don't Break, Matt will share relevant case studies, unpack the most common reasons we resist change and offer a practical framework for building greater adaptability on the job and in life.

This webinar will be moderated by Eva Keiser, APR, Fellow PRSA, principal, Plural I.
