A new business era has dawned. As the world emerges from the pandemic and grapples with complex geo-political issues, PR professionals have a duty to build trust through professional and ethical communication.

This year’s PRCA UK Conference will explore how PR and communications professionals can navigate the new business era to deliver value for clients, colleagues and society.

The conference will follow three core themes:

1. The power of people: exploring the importance of purposeful leadership and inclusive cultures, and their impact on organisational success.

2. Building meaningful relationships: reflecting on how organisations can create valuable partnerships and work closely together across sectors, cultures, and borders.  

3. Improving brand reputation and trust: examining which key factors contribute to trust within this new business era - enabling organisations to build reputable and trusted brands.
