A new generation of communicators is rewriting the rules—and PROCON 2025 is where they’re gathering to do it.
On August 23rd, the historic Howard University will host PROCON, a one-day summit designed for publicists, brand leaders, creatives, strategists, and industry newcomers seeking a fresh wave of inspiration, perspective, and practical growth. This isn’t a sit-down-and-take-notes type of conference. It’s movement, storytelling, rest, and strategy—woven into a day that connects professionals across every stage of their careers.

At a time when the public relations and communications industries are shifting faster than ever, PROCON responds with bold conversation and space to pause. From Black women reshaping media narratives to young professionals trying to find their lane in a noisy digital world, this event holds space for every voice.
Backed by a mission of culture-forward career development, PROCON doesn’t just drop buzzwords. It delivers real-talk panels, strategy workshops, networking moments that actually lead to follow-ups, and spaces where professionals can exchange stories and skills. This year’s venue—The Mecca itself—makes it even more meaningful. Howard University sets the tone as a campus long known for birthing powerful voices in journalism, politics, culture, and beyond.
This year also introduces a new addition to the PROCON lineup: Creatively Speak’n, a live podcast taping by CTLN Network, will take the stage for the first time ever. Hosted by DMV-based creators, the show explores brand storytelling, cultural movements, and the messages shaping today’s creative landscape—all through the lens of authenticity and community care.
Expect a schedule built for connection:
- Keynotes and panels with legacy builders and boundary breakers
- Conversations around burnout, brand alignment, and visibility
- Interactive breakout sessions for building confidence, community, and clarity
- A curated mix of emerging creatives and seasoned experts sharing the room, the mic, and the message
Whether pivoting into communications, scaling a business, or simply looking for an honest, motivating space to be seen and sharpened—PROCON 2025 offers a day that delivers meaning over hype.
Founded by award-winning strategist Keisha Brewer, PROCON is more than a conference—it’s a call to action for today’s communicators. As Brewer explains:
“We created PROCON to fill a gap—one that exists between talent and access, between potential and opportunity. This space is for those who are ready to grow, ready to speak up, and ready to shift the culture with intention.”
Her vision continues to guide the tone and purpose of every experience PROCON curates—built on connection, intention, and real impact.
