Over 1,000 PR professionals learn, network and collaborate at the first Public Relations Show
Yesterday (26 November), the London Business Design Centre gathered more than 1,000 PR professionals alongside an array of leading service providers in the form of sponsors, partners and exhibitors. Professionals at every career stage made up the audience across 24 speaker sessions. Speakers included Alex Aiken, Executive Director of Government communication, Rod Cartwright, Global Partner and Director of Ketchum, Alistair Smith, Managing Director Corporate Communications, Barclays Group and Ian Wright, Corporate Relations Director, Diageo.
It has been great to see the level of support that The Public Relations Show has earned in its first year. By offering flexible professional development opportunities for people at every stage in their career along with a vibrant exhibition, the Chartered Institute of Public Relations has created an event with real potential.
The Public Relations Show has been a great opportunity for us to connect with public relations professionals and showcase our products and services to a captive audience. We hope the Show will continue to grow and become an annual event for AIMediaComms to take part in for many years.
