Recent headlines – from protests in Hong Kong to the bushfire inferno in Australia, impeachment in the White House and tensions in the EU – drive home the message that ‘business as usual’ no longer cuts it. It’s up to all of us – from senior communications leaders to new talents at the start of their careers – to hear and respond to new global dynamics. At the Global Communication Summit, the annual flagship event for international communication and PR professionals, communications is the thread that helps us navigate an uncertain world. To explore this idea more fully, the Global Communication Summit 2020 features four parallel tracks: • TRANSFORM WORK: How are new tools and trends changing the way communicators work on a daily basis? • TRANSFORM ORGANISATIONS: Whether multinational corporation or local not-for-profit, the organisations we work for are changing in ways unimaginable just a few years ago • TRANSFORM LEADERSHIP: New societal expectations of what leaders should deliver combine with new leadership opportunities for comms professionals at all levels • TRANSFORM THE WORLD: What Generation Greta has known all along: communications can empower anyone to make a change and have real impact But that’s not all: to mark our global reach, we’ve included a special focus on China: keynotes, panels and break-out sessions will explore business and communications in the world’s most fascinating market. See page 12 for more details. Finally, an extra track features in-depth interactive workshops, where the lessons you’ve learned at the Summit can be road tested. Join us on May 28–29 on a journey of transformation and learn how global developments affect the communicator’s role – and how the communicator can stake out a global position.
