A HUGE Thank You to our sponsors for our 2026 Northwest Communicators Conference! We couldn’t have done it without your amazing support!!

Portland isn’t just participating in the women’s sports movement — it’s leading it.

At the 2026 Northwest Communicators Conference, we’re bringing together a few of the leading voices behind that momentum for a dynamic panel on Women in Sports PR, featuring Jenny Jeffries (Athletes Unlimited/Portland Cascades), Kacie Van Stiphout (Portland Thorns FC), Jenny Nguyen (The Sports Bra) and Kimberly Veale (Portland Fire). These are some of the leaders shaping how women’s sports are seen, supported and celebrated — and they’re doing it right here in our backyard.

This conversation will go beyond headlines and highlight reels. We’ll dig into the strategies behind audience growth, the role of storytelling and authenticity in building loyal fan bases and how communications professionals are helping redefine visibility, equity and opportunity in sports. If you work in PR, marketing or brand strategy — or just want a front-row seat to one of the most exciting shifts in the industry — this is a session you won’t want to miss.

And the best part? The conversation doesn’t end when the session does.

Join us after the first day of NW CommCon at The Sports Bra for our networking event, where you’ll have the chance to connect with fellow attendees, continue the discussion and experience firsthand one of the most influential spaces in the women’s sports movement.

Spots are filling quickly — register now with the links in our bio and be part of the conversation driving what’s next.

We’re proud to welcome Pulitzer Prize–winning investigative reporter Nigel Jaquiss as a keynote speaker at PRSA Oregon’s NW Communicators Conference.

In a time of shrinking newsrooms, nonstop information and growing public skepticism, Nigel brings a rare, behind-the-scenes perspective on how journalism is evolving and how communicators can evolve with it. Drawing on decades of experience holding powerful figures accountable, he’ll share candid insights on the state of modern media and, importantly, how PR and communications professionals can better partner with journalists to serve the public, support balanced reporting and build trust.

If you care about storytelling, credibility and cutting through the noise, this is a keynote you won’t want to miss.
