If you work in public relations, marketing, media, communications, or content creation, chances are you’ve heard the phrase “networking is everything.”

But in today’s digital world, networking often looks like LinkedIn messages, Instagram DMs, Zoom calls, and online communities. While those spaces have value, Keisha Bradley believes there’s still power in gathering creative professionals together in real life — and that’s exactly what PRoconnect LIVE Baltimore aims to do.

I recently spoke with Bradley for the Be More Positive Podcast, where we discussed the vision behind the growing communications conference and why Baltimore was selected as an important stop for the experience.

According to Bradley, one of the biggest challenges facing aspiring PR professionals, marketers, media personalities, and communications specialists is the lack of a clear career pipeline. Unlike industries with structured educational or licensing paths, many creative professionals are left trying to figure things out on their own.

That gap inspired her to create a space focused on collaboration, mentorship, strategy, and professional development.

“We’re creating a community and an ecosystem of communications professionals that are looking to give and get,” Bradley explained during our conversation.

And honestly, as someone who works in marketing operations, influencer partnerships, and content strategy through Live More Agency, I understood exactly what she meant.

Creative careers can sometimes feel isolating — especially for freelancers, entrepreneurs, content creators, and early-career professionals trying to navigate industries that are constantly evolving. Events like PRoconnect LIVE help bridge that gap by bringing together professionals across public relations, social media marketing, branding, journalism, digital media, and communications for intentional conversations and actionable learning opportunities.

The Baltimore experience will feature workshops, fireside chats, networking opportunities, and panel discussions designed to provide attendees with practical takeaways they can actually use in their careers. Bradley emphasized that speakers will share real strategies, industry insights, and valuable resources — not just surface-level inspiration.

She also shared why Baltimore was the perfect city to help launch the experience.

“Baltimore is full of movers and doers and builders,” Bradley shared, describing the city’s entrepreneurial and resilient spirit.

And she’s right.

Baltimore continues to produce talented creatives, entrepreneurs, marketers, journalists, and innovators who know how to build opportunities even when resources are limited. That hustle culture — mixed with community and creativity — makes the city an ideal environment for meaningful professional connection.

If you’re looking to grow your network, sharpen your skills, connect with communications professionals, or simply get inspired by other creatives in the industry, PRoconnect LIVE Baltimore may be worth adding to your calendar.
