PR chats on Twitter are helpful way to connect and communicate with PR specialists from all around the world, to build relationships and personal network, to meet new interesting people and to learn the current tendencies in the field.
I prepared a list with 13 hashtags of Twitter chats which (I consider) PR pros should know about and try to participate in.
1. #Commschat. Every Monday, starts at 8pm GMT. The chat is founded by @AdamVincenzini and @EmilyCagle and it is my favorite Twitter chat about communications and PR. Learn more about it here.
2. #PRStudChat. This is a monthly Twitter chat aiming to bring together PR students, professionals, and educators and trying to initiate a dynamic conversation about the PR industry. It provide opportunities for learning, networking and mentoring relationships.
3. #PRWebChat. The online news distributor PRWeb organizes this bi-weekly Twitter chat that features gurus and influencers, based on the topics of PR, SEO, social media. You can take part every other Thursday at 2-2:30 p.m. ET
4. #BrandChat. A discussion about branding – personal, corporate, product, etc. Every Wednesday: 11a ET/10a CT/9a MT/8a PT.
5. #PR20Chat. It’s a weekly conversation held on every Tuesday at 8PM EST about PR 2.0, moderated by @PRtini and @JGoldsborough.
6. #BlogChat. Weekly conversation that takes place every Sunday at 8pm CT. Each week a different blogging topic is being dicussed.
7. #SoloPR. This chat is held each Wednesday from 1-2 p.m. Eastern time.
8. #JournChat. A weekly conversation held on every Monday between 7-10pm CST. This is an interesting interaction between journalists, bloggers and PR people.
9. #SMbiz. Small Business Chat – organized on Tuesday at 8-9 pm EDT. Hosted by @SternalPR and @SternalMrktg
10. #MeasurePR. This is a bi-weekly chat on Tuesdays from 12-1 pm ET. The main topic is measurement in the are of PR.
11. #IMCChat. A Twitter chat about integrated marketing communications moderated by @bethharte and @abarcelos. You can take part on Wednesday at 8pm ET.

Great to see a list of some of the PR Twitter chats available. I personally take part in Commschat as and when I can. I honestly can’t stress enough how useful it is to talk about a subject – especially if you enjoy it – it is a great chance to engage with people who have the same interests. Thanks for the list – I will make sure I check out some of the ones I have never see before. :-)
Petya, thank you so much for including #IMCchat, it’s much appreciated. We hope you and your readers will join us!
Happy holidays,
Beth Harte
You missed two major chats in your list: #archat, which is hosted by me (@LoudyOutLoud) and Fred McClimans (@fredmcclimans) Tuesdays at 12pm EST.
I would also recommend you add #B2Bchat to the list.
Both chats are highly recommended for marketing, PR, IR, AR, and branding pros.
Hi Petya!
Thanks for mentioning #prwebchat in your list of twitter chats for #PR pros–I certainly do appreciate it. It’s a great list of chats and I try to drop in on the others as they take place, they’re a great learning and relationship building resource. Hope to see you on #prwebchat sometime!

A great list… I enjoy many of these chats on a regular basis, and have been meaning to check out #brandchat! I’m so glad to see #PRStudChat on the list; it has been exciting to watch the community grow and evolve since it began in August of 2009!
Great idea!

Thanks so much for including #measurePR. I know the Twitterchat space is becoming a crowded one, not to mention how stellar the other chats are, so I really appreciate the nod.
It speaks volumes to the community that has supported and grown the chat… and is, as a result, spurring more interest in what PR measurement can be, when it’s done right, in terms of supporting business and organizational objectives.

Hi everybody! Thanks for the useful comments and thanks for taking the time to write me. I was disconnected for 2 days and that’s the reason all comments were posted with a little delay and I want to apologize to all of you.
But it’s always very helpful when you receive feedback. I appreciate it! :)
I will answer to all of you asap! :)

@ Beth Harte, Thanks for your comment. I am trying to take part in these chats or at least to read the transcripts afterward. I’m looking forward talking with you during #IMCchat :)
@ Carli, As you know we met thanks to #Commschat and this is one of the examples of the networking power of these chats for PR professionals :) Thanks for your comment, Carli :)
@ Shonali Burke, We would not know anything about the PR campaigns we are conducting if we don’t measure them. #MeasurePR is a great place to exchange experience, ideas and thoughts on this important aspect of our work. Thanks for your comment :)
@ Valerie Simon, Will be great to talk with you on Twitter or during some of these chats :) Thanks for commenting :)
@ Stacey Acevero, I am sure we will meet on #prwebchat very soon, just need a little more free time for online activities :) Thanks for your feedback :)

I realize that there are always for resources that space allows to include, but as a member of the mommy blogger community, I’d like to connect with the brands that seek to connect with us moms. Wondering if you or any of your readers/commenters know of any chats specifically aimed at a meaningful conversation between mommy bloggers and consumer brands that want to interact with us?
