While I already thought PRSA was a becoming a joke, they continue to prove my point. They don’t even give a free conference ticket to selected speakers for PR ICON. They will issue a special badge so the speaker can access only the room they are speaking in, and encourage them to pay the “saver” rate. Mind you, this rate is nearly $1700. They are more than happy to take & upsell your knowledge, can’t even comp you a ticket (or offer you more of a discount than the public).

I’m a PRSA board member, but also thought this was odd. Conferences usually comp your ticket especially since they make so much money from your appearance.

Yea, I don’t understand this. Even a conference like SxSW will at least give the speaker a one day ticket (rather than a full conference pass).

It just further raises the barrier for access and ensures only the same big, rich agencies, people or companies with excess money will be able to speak.

Hello Sharks,

I am a Mechanical Engineer with ~5 years of experience in Aerospace Industry. Graduated in Tier 2 city college.

I want to give a try to Canadian opportunities and it would be really helpful if someone gives me initial guidance.

I am aware of the process but would need some detailed guidance, probably from someone who has migrated from India to Canada with a Tier 2 city college degree.

Thank you in advance.

My company contracts a web developer, we have a set amount of hours for the quarter and pay over if more work is needed.
He never gets anything done. Doesn’t answer emails half the time. The one thing he’s done was take out a blurb that threatened our eligibility for patent renewal.
We have another company taking over in January, but I still have some pretty important dev needs until then and I can’t get him to do a thing. I truly try to give him all he needs.
