Akolade's Corporate Communications and PR Leadership Forum: the role of the corporate communicator is more critical than ever

2017-09-07 07:00

SYDNEY, Sept. 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- A well implemented corporate communications function in today's volatile environment can be the difference between success and failure in today's environment. Just look at Uber, United Airlines and Pepsi this year. Akolade's Corporate Communications and PR Leadership Forum on 21st-23rd November, 2017 at the Swissotel Sydney, is about positioning communications as a central leadership function in organisations.

Although the responsibilities and influence of top communications leaders has increased, corporate communications functions are still traditionally viewed as a C-suite stepchild.

In today's intensively competitive global market, it's increasingly important that the corporate affairs function make deeper contributions within the C-suite inner circle, and be ready to strategically advise in times of crisis and scrutiny.

Akolade is bringing Australia's leading communications experts together to expand participants' skillsets as a corporate communicator. Attend this practical forum to explore the role of the communications executive in a rapidly evolving online universe and strengthen your capacity for frontline leadership. 

Featured speakers will include:

  • Zoe Hibbert, Head of Corporate Communications Asia Pacific, Visa
  • Meshlin Khouri, Group Head Communications, Bayer Australia and New Zealand
  • Christine Black, Director of Public Affairs and Communications, Coca-Cola
  • Adrian Flood, Director of Communications, Australian Human Rights Commission
  • Greer McCracken, Head of Global Communications, Cotton On Group

It's time for communications practitioners to take the leap into the leadership circle, and for corporations to recognize the importance of strategic communications. That's what the Corporate Communications and PR Leadership is about.
