#CommsPRdigital ‘The Communications Revolution’, is an exciting and challenging new conference, launched by the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR) in Northern Ireland.

Taking place in The Merchant Hotel on Friday, 23rd September, it is set to welcome keynote speakers of international, high-flying and ‘regal’ renown from the PR, digital media and communications industries.

With additional special guests and speakers to be announced over the coming months, the CIPR has released an exclusive preview which showcases the high calibre that will allow attendees to gain valuable insight into how the world is adapting to the evolution of media and communications.

Speakers confirmed so far are:

· Dickie Arbiter, former Press Secretary to the Queen and media manager for Prince Charles and the late Princess Diana, has almost five decades of experience with one of the most recognisable “brands” in the world.

· Robin Kiely, Head of Communications for Ryanair, now one of the world’s largest airlines, has a wealth of experience in developing effective media strategies to successfully communicate the company’s news and objectives to its 80 million customers worldwide.

· Martyn Rosney of Edelman works with some of the biggest brands in the world from the Edelman office in Dublin. Martyn has been featured in PR Week’s ‘30 Under 30’ and as ‘One to watch’ by Marketing.ie and was CIPR’s Young Communications Professional in 2015.

· Scott Field, Team GB’s Director of Communications will have just returned from the Rio Olympics, his second Games, and has also worked at previous FIFA World Cups, UEFA European Championship Finals and Champions League Finals.

Speaking on the launch of this inaugural conference for CIPR NI, Chair Samantha Livingstone said:

“In today’s age, how we communicate has changed. The world is now smaller, thanks to advances in technology and the digital world making communicating easier, faster and more reactive. Therefore, we wanted to create a conference that would bring together some of the greatest minds and inspirations from the world of PR, comms and digital media, to discuss and debate the future of this industry."

“In Northern Ireland, we have seen constant increases in the number of practitioners undertaking continuous professional development and becoming chartered, demonstrating a strong desire for agencies, businesses and individuals to invest in the future of this profession. We hope this conference is yet another way to share best practice and to provide a platform for continued growth of the sector.”

With a focus on learning and strategic development, #CommsPRdigital will provide top-tier guidance and advice from the front line on how PR agencies, media outlets, companies and individuals can effectively manage their communication methods, platforms and messaging.
