Every other year, the Republican National Committee (RNC) hosts four regional conferences across the US, providing grassroots activists and political enthusiasts the opportunity to connect with the Republican party’s most influential leaders. This past May, Oklahoma City hosted the 2015 Southern Republican Leadership Conference (SRLC), a three-day event that included 14 Southern states and was the first of the four regional conferences.
The SRLC host committee selected Oklahoma-based JonesPR to help plan and coordinate the conference. The agency was also responsible for creative, marketing, media and social media services.
The event featured speeches from Republican presidential candidates including Dr. Ben Carson, Texas Senator Ted Cruz, Carly Fiorina, and former Florida Governor Jeb Bush.
