This October, a one-day program of its kind will be held in Chicago, Philadelphia, and Washington, DC.
New York, USA, August 14, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Enrollment has begun for the 2026 Crisis to Capability Bootcamp, a full-day, face-to-face initiative designed for corporate affairs and communications experts who must navigate crisis management and artificial intelligence with assurance — capabilities now considered mandatory rather than elective.
This training event brings together two well-known professionals:
Scott Davies, Founder and Principal at Reign-Maker Strategic Advisory and former Chief Communications Officer at a Fortune 60 organization as well as Cabinet-level Chief of Staff, facilitates a live, hands-on crisis simulation tailored to the companies present. “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 authority on constructing efficient communication teams, workflows, and infrastructure, and on determining how emerging technologies fit into those structures. She directs the applied AI session, addressing communicators’ worries that AI will render their roles obsolete. “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 Structure
● Crisis Simulation — an in-person, high-stakes drill evaluating choices and communication strategies under duress
● AI Workshop — an interactive module exploring where AI enhances communications tasks and where it is inadequate
● Full Bootcamp — the complete experience: both segments in one day
