Traditional Public Relations is evolving, and emerging in a world where organisational leadership is growing in importance, and where Public Relations entails much more than just communicating with stakeholders on behalf of the organisation. In this world relationships are key, and trust becomes an important social currency that is highly desired but very difficult to attain.

PRISA/SACOMM sessions are scheduled from 16:00 on the 28 and 29 September 2015. Please refer to the IPRA Congress website onwww.ipra.org/congress for full details of the programme.
