First-of-its-kind, single-day program comes to Chicago, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC this October.
NY, UNITED STATES, August 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Registration is open for the 2026 Crisis to Capability Bootcamp, a one-day, in-person program built for corporate affairs and communications professionals who need to lead confidently through crisis response and artificial intelligence — two skills that have become essential, not optional.
The Bootcamp pairs two recognized experts:
Scott Davies, Founder and Principal at Reign-Maker Strategic Advisory and former Chief Communications Officer to a Fortune 60 company and Cabinet-level Chief of Staff, leads a live, immersive crisis simulation built around the organizations in the room. “You cannot know what it’s like [in a crisis] unless the pressure is actually applied,” Davies said. “A crisis binder isn’t a crisis plan — it’s a liability document. It gives people false bravado if it’s never tested in fire.”
Kristine Grow, Founder and Principal at Grow Communications Strategies, is an expert in building effective communication teams, processes, and systems, and figuring out how new technologies apply to those ecosystems. She leads the practical AI workshop, addressing communicators’ fear that AI will replace their function. “Every time there’s a new way to communicate, we hear it’s the end of communications,” Grow said. “AI is another tool to get curious about. This isn’t an AI-to-generate-content workshop — letting AI control your content strips out the humanness that wins hearts and minds.”
Program Format
• Crisis Simulation — a live, high-pressure exercise testing decision-making and messaging under fire
• AI Workshop — a hands-on session on where AI strengthens communications work and where it falls short
• Full Bootcamp — both sessions in a single day
