Whether you're interested in learning about current trends or looking to benchmark against industry standards, this discussion will provide actionable insights from the FICP Pulse Survey – Summer 2025 Edition report for curating programs in 2026 and beyond.

CMP-IS Domain K: Technology Integration

Mark your calendars to join us for the 2025 FICP Annual Conference at the Washington Hilton in Washington, D.C. from November 2-5, 2025.

Your personal brand isn’t just about what you say — it’s about how you show up, especially in those unexpected moments. Whether you’re presenting event data in a meeting to stakeholders, chatting in the hallway, or handling a surprise interaction with leadership, every moment is a chance to reinforce (or weaken) your reputation in the industry.

In this fast-paced, high-impact session, you’ll learn how to:

• Anticipate and prepare for your "on-stage" moments — both formal and informal.
• Use body language to build trust and confidence instantly when working with stakeholders.
• Adapt your presence to make a lasting, positive impression.
• Avoid common nonverbal mistakes that can undermine your credibility.

Packed with practical tips, this session will help you show up as the best version of yourself — every time.
