Course Structure

We have designed the CPD Summer Institute to allow for a mix of lecture, real-time projects, discussions and presentations. Collaborative learning is an integral part of the CPD professional education experience. Participants are expected to attend every session regardless of the program, complete all assignments and contribute effectively in both large and small group sessions.

Content modules for 2024 focus on foundational principles and emerging trends; social science research and insights; audience understanding; common behavioral data and analytics; and next-generation content creation strategies and tactics.
