It is not a mere coincidence that the theme will be discussed in the year 2020,” said M B Jayaram, Chief Mentor and Chairman Emeritus of PRCI.
A notable aspect of the conclave is that it is being held in association with the just launched of World Communicators’ Council (WCC). Promoted by PRCI, WCC aims to be a one-stop Global Knowledge Powerhouse in Mass Communication.

Explaining the theme, S Narendra, president – National executive of PRCI said, “PR has come a long way, from being courier boys, travel assistants or glorified protocol managers.
Now, we strongly feel that it’s time to look beyond all these and see where we fit in and command value that we PR or communication professionals deserve,” said Narendra, ex-advisor to many PMs and former Government of India spokesperson.
