National Conference Grant

Since 2001, the Canadian Public Relations Society of Vancouver Island (CPRS-VI) has been making it easier for Vancouver Island public relations professionals to stay current in their field. 

CPRS-VI provides a grant every year to our members to support attendance at the CPRS national conference - the opportunity to connect with hundreds of public relations pros from across Canada for high-powered networking and to learn from a stellar combination of keynote speakers, workshops, panel discussions, and fun social events. The conference grant covers the cost of in-person registration for the Elevate conference in Banff, AB from May 25-27, 2025.  

If you are a CPRS-VI member in good standing, an active volunteer, and can prove your dedication to professional development, apply for the CPRS-VI Conference Grant and you might have your registration paid for!
