‘Making the Most of Challenging Times’

In today’s challenging economic climate, when we all are faced with difficult decisions, the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) in the South West is offering you the chance to be inspired by a variety of creative and effective solutions.

On Thursday 8th October 2009, the Watershed in Bristol City Centre will host the 2009 CIPR South West Communicators’ Conference. Our keynote speaker is Clarence Mitchell of Freud Communications and official spokesman for Kate and Gerry McCann.

This full day conference is packed with opportunities to learn, network and debate. There are 12 workshops, covering topics from ‘sustaining strong communications’ with Chief Executive of Bristol Media, Mike Bennett, to ‘practical solutions’ with Magnus Carter, Managing Director of Mentor. The conference concludes with a plenary session, including Jan Ormondroyd, Chief Executive of Bristol City Council, and our keynote speaker Clarence Mitchell, debating the question ‘What Next’?

We are proud to represent a vibrant, innovative industry, and look forward to you joining us at CIPR South West Communicators’ Conference 2009. Buffet lunch and refreshments are included.
