About This Event

ALI's 13th Annual Strategic Internal Communications Conference – East brought internal communications leaders back to The Colonnade in Boston, July 14–16, 2026.

Pinaki Kathiari returned to the same stage a year after presenting with Pharmavite, this time with Alexa Rudin, VP of Communications at Alaska Airlines. Their fireside chat, From Utility to Culture to AI, walked through how Alaska Airlines built frontline communications that scale, from measurement and governance to culture, recognition and AI.

Bree Bartos photographed the fireside chat and sessions across the program, from keynotes to the closing panel.
