Event Overview
The pandemic crystallised the value of communications and public relations in both the boardroom and in society. We have the ear of the c-suite - but what comes next? How can communications professionals build on their platform to better support clients and organisations through the global economic recovery?
This year’s UK National Conference brings together business and PR minds from the likes of Google, IKEA, and the Cabinet Office to explore how PR and communications professionals can thrive in a new business era defined by trust, collaboration and authenticity. The conference also features a special session on mental health with former no.10 strategist, Alastair Campbell.

1. Trust and Reputation in a Post-Pandemic World: Showcasing the ingredients for trust-building; the role of empathy and ethics in the post-pandemic world.
2. Taking your people with you: exploring how investment in people – though inclusive cultures and strong purposeful leadership can deliver better productivity, a happier workforce and enhanced value for clients and organisations.
3. Cultivating collaboration in the new business era: exploring how organisations and businesses can work closer with one another through partnerships across sectors, cultures and borders to deliver value for business and society

Panel: From Collective Trauma to Sustainable Working Practices and Resilience Building
So many cliches from living and working through COVID times but as we’ve all battled through this collective societal trauma, but haven’t we all learnt so much about ourselves? How we tick, how we combine home and work like never before, what stresses us and what helps wellbeing and productivity. With the proverbial rug being constantly whipped from under us, government guidelines, tier systems, furlough schemes in never-ending flux and, the prospect of ‘hybrid working’ for the a while to come, this panel will explore how we turn the lessons of previous months into positive and sustainable ways of working for the future. How do we build wellbeing and personal resilience and, organisational cultures that give the individuals within, the best chance of resilience and success?
