The PR Show 2013 – An affordable conference

We’re liking the format of the Chartered Institute of Public Relation’s PR Show 2013. Set in London on 26 November, the speaker programme has a pay-as-you-go format of 45 minute speeches, by industry experts, on a wide range of topics.

In the past you would have to go to your boss, with begging bowl in hand, and convince him or her that the several hundred pounds’ worth of investment was worth a day’s training and travel. But CIPR have brought the cost down and the level of attractiveness up. Each session is only £18. We’re looking forward to the education programme, the CIPR taster workshops, as well as the opportunity for valuable networking (and socialising) with our PR colleagues.

See you on the 26th…
