PRSA Rochester - Meeting/Event Information Our night in the Neighborhood of the Arts will include hors d’oeuvres and an hour of open bar beginning at 5:30 p.m. while you catch up with your fellow PR practitioners. On-site parking is available.

Our chapter’s recent event, Inside the 13WHAM Newsroom: Tour & Q&A, offered attendees a unique behind-the-scenes look at Rochester’s number-one-rated TV news station. We kicked off the evening with a news station tour, watched the 5 p.m. newscast live in-studio, and participated in an engaging Q&A discussion with editorial leadership. It was an invaluable opportunity to learn how PR professionals can better work with today’s newsroom.

Thank you to everyone at 13 WHAM ABC for welcoming us and helping make this such a wonderful event!
