Communications leaders today are navigating one of the most profound shifts the profession has ever seen. AI is reshaping how work gets done — accelerating routine tasks, expanding analytical insight, and redefining the skills communicators need to lead. At the same time, media consumption continues to fracture, stakeholder expectations are intensifying, and communications teams are increasingly expected to advise on everything from earnings and litigation risk to cultural flashpoints.
The result isn’t a crisis, but a paradigm shift — one that is expanding the scope of responsibility, evolving the apprenticeship model, and rewriting what it means to build and lead a modern communications function.
Hosted by Joe Carberry, Partner at Breakwater Strategy and David Chamberlin, Managing Director, Strategic Communications, Advisory Team at Orrick, this conversation invites communications leaders to explore how this transformation is unfolding through questions like:
- How do we cultivate the next generation of communicators when their early career experience looks so different from our own?
- What does it mean to be “business fluent” in a world where communicators sit at the intersection of technology, strategy, policy, and culture?
- How should leaders rethink the integration of communications, data, and AI to better guide organizational decision-making?
- As AI tools become more efficient, what does it take for communicators to become smarter, more connected, and more influential in the rooms where decisions are made?
Over dinner, we’ll examine not only the challenges but also the opportunities and leave with a shared understanding of how communicators can successfully lead through this transformative era.
We welcome CCOs, VPs, and Directors of Communications to request an invitation to join this roundtable discussion.
Upon qualification, you will receive a follow up email from a member of our team confirming your participation.
