The former HR executive caught in the viral Coldplay kiss cam scandal is set to host a $875 crisis conference, sparking controversy and debate. Kristin Cabot, the ex-chief people officer of tech firm Astronomer, will speak at PRWeek’s 2026 Crisis Comms Conference in April, alongside crisis communications specialist Dini von Mueffling. The event promises tools to navigate unexpected crises, but the price tag has raised eyebrows. Social media reactions range from disbelief to scorn, with some questioning the conference's purpose and others criticizing Cabot's handling of the scandal. Cabot's session, titled 'Taking back the narrative', aims to address public shaming and media scrutiny, but the event's high cost and controversial nature have sparked debate.
