If you work on issues that spark public controversy and challenge deeply held convictions, strong controversy communications strategies should be a foundational part of your campaign toolkit. From immigration to religion to abortion, expertly navigating and influencing the public conversation can often be the key to success rather than fostering messy, low impact debates. In the field of controversy communications, engaging contentious public conversations are proactive strategies that can propel your campaigns. This session will explore the spectrum from preventing crisis to managing one. In addition, we’ll explore the infrastructure needed to create knowledge-driven strategies.
