*Crisis happens fast. Your response must be faster: Anna Stallmann, CEO and Managing Principal, Ascent Strategic Communications
-In today’s connected world, a single photo or poorly-worded response can damage trust built over decades. In this session, we’ll walk through the fundamentals of crisis communication tailored for the offshore maritime industry. Together, we'll engage with two high-stakes, realistic scenarios: a port-side vessel incident and a viral safety lapse. Anna will explore what to say, who says it, and how to regain control when the story spreads faster than you can draft a statement.
