CIPR 2020 National Conference; Communications Leadership in the New World
CIPR's 2020 National Conference explores how PR can thrive in a world changed by the Covid-19 pandemic.
The three-day Conference - 'Communications Leadership in the New World' - will consider lessons learned in the world of business, economics, politics - and the profession - and focus on the future of navigating success through skills and building professional and personal resilience.
This year's Conference is completely virtual and powered by game tech, enabling attendees to explore the Conference centre and network with other delegates, sponsors and speakers. Delegates have the choice of attending the whole conference, individual days, or individual sessions making it accessible to all.
Each day will focus on a different theme:
- Tuesday 10 November - NEW WORLD. Chaired by Laurian Hubbard FCIPR Chart.PR

This year's National Conference couldn't come at a more appropriate time. We have collectively worked through the immediacy of the crisis and now must consider what the future looks like, what our place is within it, and what our role should be. A conference like this provides time away from our busy schedules to have these discussions as we consider this new world, the people that make up our fantastic profession, and how we serve, support, and create value for the businesses and organisations we work for and with.
I'm so excited about this lineup of speakers. It's diverse, authoritative, interesting, and covers a wide range of topics and interests. And I'm really looking forward to experiencing this event virtually. I hope the platform encourages delegates from all over the world to come together as we show off the best of what the Institute has to offer.
