Kristin Cabot, who gained unexpected and unwanted worldwide fame when she appeared in the arms of her boyfriend Andy Byron in a so-called cam kiss at a Coldplay concert, will be the keynote speaker at an upcoming crisis communication conference in Washington, reports TMZ.
The former head of human resources at Astronomer will share the stage with renowned PR expert Dini von Mueffling for a lecture titled 'Kristin Cabot: Reclaiming the Narrative'.
Tickets for the crisis communication lectures at this year's Communication Week, which will be held in April, range from $750 to $875, and 14 speakers have been announced so far.
Kristin was immediately labeled a "marriage wrecker," even though she had separated from her husband at the time, while Byron was still married.
She recently blamed alcohol for her problems, telling the New York Times that she was being followed by paparazzi, that she was receiving 500 or 600 phone calls a day, and that she had received dozens of death threats after the incident.
The conference website announced its presentation as follows:
“Cabot experienced firsthand the extreme public shaming that women have long endured when they are the center of negative media attention, something their male counterparts often do not. In this lecture, the former chief human resources officer of Astronomer magazine and her PR representative, industry legend Dini von Mueffling, share the strategy—both immediate and long-term—that helped Cabot take control of her story and rewrite it.”
