Exclusive Sponsorship Opportunities¹

The Distinguished Lecture & Awards Dinner is a very special annual event that attracts 300 leaders in public relations and corporate communications to New York City. This year, the Institute for Public Relations is pleased to present guest lecturer Jon Iwata, an inspiring and forward-thinking leader in our field. Iwata is Senior Vice President at IBM where he leads communications and citizenship. The Institute also will present its prestigious Alexander Hamilton Medal for lifetime achievement in public relations to Al Golin, Chairman of Chicago-based GolinHarris. Over the past 50+ years, Golin has created a rich legacy filled with remarkable anecdotes. Today, Golin remains active in his global organization and serves as a model of success to colleagues throughout our profession.
