#CoronaCon
Updates ...
On the 9 and 16 June the Chartered Institute of Public Relations Greater London Group (CIPR GLG), has announced it will be hosting an online conference for its members, as well as other PR practitioners across the sector. CoronaCon will feature an array of industry leaders who will discuss how the industry has responded to the changing working environment in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The aim of the conference is to create a community, foster understanding and ultimately support those working across the PR industry, in order to come to terms with how their profession has been impacted by this global crisis, and how they can prepare for the future.
CIPR members can buy tickets for the conference for £10, whilst non-member tickets are available for £15 and any funds raised by ticket sales will be donated to charity. Donations will be split between the CIPR’s Benevolent Fund iProvision and the Felix Project, which help PR practitioners affected by the crisis and feeds local communities in London by rescuing surplus food from the food industry respectively.
