Page Up is a global community where senior communication leaders from the most prominent and influential companies, top public relations agencies, academia and nonprofits push the boundaries of what's possible in their fields. Our membership stands as a beacon of innovation and a hub for the exchange of groundbreaking ideas.
Think about that last time you made meaningful progress on something. Did you do it alone? Of course not! You worked with someone, shared an idea with someone, got inspired by someone, felt motivated by someone. This is what the Page Up network is about. To be in Page Up is to belong to an elite and influential group that is shaping the future of our profession. As we all benefit from the broadest array of knowledge, ideas, backgrounds and experiences, we continue to increase the diversity of our membership and contributors to all of our events and programs.
With more than 200 members, each of whom has an average of 20 years of industry experience, Page Up has over 4,000 years of collective experience. Page Up thought leadership is designed to curate content from a diverse set of member perspectives and actionable advice based on challenges they've faced. We have taken our research beyond the traditional whitepaper by developing strategic frameworks that offer practical approaches to real-world problems through how-to guides, case studies and member-only newsletters. We also offer virtual, in-person and hybrid conferences and smaller events that encourage knowledge-sharing and that bring that knowledge and experience of renowned speakers to you.
We get a tremendous level of support from the Page Up staff as well as from Page members, but when it comes down to it, Page Up is member-led. Our bylaws call for an operating team with the roles you see below, naturally, but more importantly every Page Up member has the opportunity to volunteer for committee work and leadership. This is like anything truly valuable in life – the more you put in, the more you get from it. Here are some of the folks getting a great deal of satisfaction and having a good bit of fun running the show day-to-day; it could just as easily be you.
The first thing to say about what Page Up offers is that it starts with you, the member. Each and every one of us brings a unique perspective, industry experience, established and emerging skills and a desire to contribute. So, when you look at our programs, you will see that they are grounded in member participation, member expertise and member execution.
