About Communications Week

Communications Week brings thousands of communicators together in the Fall to shine a spotlight on the profession and solve for the challenges facing both internal and external communicators worldwide. CommsWeek 2024 will be held Nov. 12-15, with the signature conference, Future of Communications, taking place in Austin, Texas.

Ragan Communications is the owner and organizer of Communications Week. The most influential industry organizations and media outlets have been supporters of the week with educational and networking events, from conferences to webinars to meetups and mentoring sessions. Communications Week has a global reach, with events in New York, Chicago, Washington, DC, Los Angeles, Toronto, London and Hamburg.

CommsWeek was founded in 2014 by Tiffany Guarnaccia, CEO of Kite Hill PR and was sold to Ragan in 2019. Guarnaccia and Diane Schwartz, CEO of Ragan Communications, are co-chair of Comms Week.
