By all measures, last week's first-ever Solo PR Summit was a rousing success! The event brought internationally-known speakers and solo PR pros from across North America together in Atlanta, Ga., for two days of unparalleled professional development, networking, and actionable sessions focused on the independent consultant.
The connections made and friendships formed will last long after the event is over. If you weren't able to join us — or if you were there, and want to re-live it — we've compiled all the content we could find there's a lot!) below:

Thanks to everyone who participated in the event, both near and far! The passion and wisdom of this community is something I never take for granted, and it's gratifying to see that the Solo PR Summit helped bring like-minded professionals together. To your success!
Thanks for sharing my posts Kellye. Wish I could have done more with my recaps, but they were getting so long and every presentation could have easily been its own blog post. Really a lot of insightful, applicable, usable information – looking forward to trying it someday! FWIW.
As if the conference wasn’t enough of a knowledge bucket, this recap is full of great recaps and additional resources to help all of us be a better and more successful #solopr pro. Thanks to all involved!
