Countdown for 12th Global Commn Conclave begins

PUNE, India: With the preparations for the 12^th Global Communication Conclave at Pune on March 9 & 10, 2018 going in full swing, the countdown for the event conducted by Public Relations Council of India (PRCI) has begun.

PRCI - the premier body of PR, media, advertising, HR, marcom professionals and mass communication students and academicians – has altready announced that it will hold the Conclave at the conveniently located venue, All Spice, Shantai Hotel, near Camp, opposite Ashoka Pavilion.

The theme for the Conclave is: TRANSFORM OR PERISH.

Apart from the rapid developments in technology, life around us too is changing fast – faster than the speed of thought. What we think today may not be relevant tomorrow. Some of these rapid developments would need a total transformation, and not a mere change.

PRCI will also present its much sought-after signature awards under the Chanakya series and induct achievers into the PR Hall of Fame. And, we will present the popular PRCI collateral awards – a talent recognition for communication professionals.

PRCI: Headquartered in Bangalore, PRCI has Chapters across close to 30 cities and towns and a dedicated youth wing called Young Communicators Club (YCC) that galvanizes the mass communication students at various universities and colleges, pan-India.

The Conclave is also a unique opportunity for communication and marketing students to listen to mentors, global experts and learn from their experiences.

PRCI and YCC periodically hold a series of knowledge forums in association with media organizations like Press Clubs and universities/colleges.

Daughters’ Day: PRCI celebrates Daughters’ Day on June 1 – the official date of birth of late Indo-US astronaut Kalpana Chawla – to focus attention on girl children’s education. The Council has adopted few girls through various established NGOs to ensure their uninterrupted education till at least SSC, High School.

WCC: PRCI has recently promoted a global platform – World Communicators’ Council (WCC) – with Chapters in UAE and Sri Lanka. Soon, WCC will spread its wings to many other countries, including Australia, UK and the US.

World Communicators’ Day: Realising that we Communication professionals do not have an international day of ours, PRCI initiated World Communicators’ Day to be celebrated on October 28 – the day the world’s first Press Release was shot out by Ivy Lee in the US in 1906. We had a series of events, pan-India, including sessions on the art of press release writing.

Social Communication: In a yet another unique initiative, PRCI launched a Social Communication campaign to deal with issues of concern to the communities around us. Our campaign – Mission Mumbai Local – has been adjudged as the PR Milestone of The Year at America’s PR World Awards. The campaign focused on the plight of suburban train commuters of the island city and the need to improve.

Similarly, the organisation met with great success in our campaign  #IamParsikHill, IamDying as the plundering of the hills on the outskirts of Mumbai has been stopped. The NGT ruled that no quarrying can be done without environment clearances.

The Pune conclave, thus, promises many takeaways, apart from being a good meeting point to share thoughts and ideas to be able to face lurking future challenges.
