TAMPA BAY, Fla., May 18, 2020 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- On Thursday, May 21, PR agency JOTO PR Disruptors will hold the "TOP COVID-19 Summit: Quarantined Press Conference". From 2–3pm EDT, this one-hour webinar will focus on "The Economic Reboot" amidst the COVID-19 crisis—relying on expertise from a variety of industry experts within the healthcare, finance, technology and supply-chain sectors and led by Moderator Karla Jo Helms, Chief Evangelist and Anti-PR Strategist of JOTO PR Disruptors.
"To satisfy continuous requests from our contacts and the media following our first press conference, the second is set to focus on the country's economic recovery, getting back to work, and what's next for society as it slowly steps into reopening amidst the pandemic," Helms says. "We put together a panel of leading experts who are able to provide their help, hope, and solutions."
The topics and industry experts for this press conference will include:
- The Healthcare Economy: Lisa Kennedy, Health Economist, Managing Principal, Innopiphany
- Financial Recovery: Jeff Mount, President of Real Intelligence LLC
- Technology Fuels the Economic Reboot: Mike McLaughlin, Chief Information Officer of Technologent
- Supply Chain/Infrastructure – Moving the Country Past the Pandemic: Don Lefeve, President at Commercial Vehicle Training
"All of these industries are interrelated and interdependent. What is affecting one is affecting another in ways that we might not see," Helms says. "Likewise, what is helping one could also help another. The leaders on this panel want to help."
This is the second in a series of webinars, with the first hosted in March and featuring a panel of experts from the healthcare, supply chain, finance, technology, and eCommerce industries to discuss what was happening in regards to each panelist's zone of expertise. This diverse group provided real-time information as consumers and businesses all over the world tackled pivoting and pushing forward during the novel coronavirus crisis. After the press conference, JOTO PR Disruptors put together a resource guide for consumers and businesses to include informative tools, data, and other resources from industry experts as discussed during and after the press conference.
As planned for this week's and future press conferences, these events will continue to be more targeted and geared towards hearing from industry-specific experts to offer real-time insight, information, and solutions on their response to the current pandemic. During a time when it is needed arguably now more than ever, Helms stresses the importance of communication, which she says is critical in persevering through this crisis as a community.
"This is not the time to cut back on your communications. In all my years of crisis management, we operated on a primary principle: nature abhors a vacuum. And in a time of crisis, it seems that people tend to communicate less—do not fall into this," Helms says. "Promote first, communicate foremost. You have to do this before you try to figure out or repair administrative lines. Then you get in a sense of the economy. Follow that order—as if you don't, there won't be anything to economize on."
All are welcome to attend the second "TOP COVID-19 Summit: Quarantined Press Conference" webinar on Thursday, May 21 from 2–3pm EDT. For more information and to sign up, visit the event's registration page.
