Summary:
The implications of Brexit, a new government, and a shifting political landscape; the huge reputational challenges facing enterprises and the public sector; the concerns over digital intrusion and malware; the growing power of social media platforms.
All these issues and more combine to create one of the most turbulent periods in recent history, that organisations of all kinds need to chart a course through.
The PRCA's National Conference 2017 aims to help you to consider these issues and their implications on how we need to communicate.
