Coldplay’s Kristin Cabot is keynote speaker at Crisis PR conference

Christine Cabot — half of the couple who went viral on social media this summer, when they were caught getting cozy at a Coldplay concert — is the keynote speaker at a crisis PR conference in Washington, DC… where tickets cost $875.

Astronomer’s former Chief People Officer will share the stage with a public relations professional Dini von Mueffling for a 30-minute discussion titled “Kristin Cabot: Taking Back the Story.”

It’s part of PRWeek’s Crisis Comms conference and tickets for the April event range from $750 to $875…with 14 other speakers scheduled to take the mic.

Kristin has recent PR crisis experience to draw on…she resigned from his comfortable job after being filmed on the Kiss Cam at a Coldplay concert, snuggling up to her boss, the CEO of Astronomer Andy Byron.

While Kristin was separated from her spouse, the internet didn’t know – and she was also immediately labeled a homewrecker. She recently blamed the ordeal on alcohol and told the New York Times that she had been stalked by paparazzi, receiving 500 or 600 calls a day, and that she received dozens of death threats after the incident.

In describing Kristin’s talk, the conference website states… “Cabot experienced first-hand the extreme public humiliation that women have long experienced when in the negative media spotlight that their male counterparts often seem to avoid. In this session, Astronomer’s former HR director and her PR rep, industry legend Dini von Mueffling, share the strategy – both immediate and long-term – that helped Cabot take control of his narrative and rewrite his story.”

People who spend a lot of money to attend will learn to “pivot at a moment’s notice to meet unexpected events that are now the norm, not the exception.”
