Bob DiBiasio
Public Relations and America’s Favorite Pastime
The curveballs, clutch hits and home runs of managing PR for a major league team. For more than 30 years, Bob DiBiasio has been “at bat” handling public relations for the Cleveland Indians. Quite a bit has changed in three decades, both with the game itself and also with the communication mechanisms pro sports teams use. Bob will take us through a lively discussion about the ups and downs of promoting a sports team, whether it’s in contention for the World Series or stuck in last place
