Dear Colleague,

The team behind IIR’s PR Congress and CSR Summit brings to you the enhanced Corporate Communications Conference, taking place from 24 - 28 February 2008 at the Dusit Hotel in Dubai, UAE.

Last year for the first time in the region we organised an event focusing on challenges, trends and issues in corporate communications. This year we continue the tradition by reinventing the event with new content, workshops and speakers.

During the past few years, with the rapid growth of companies in the region, corporate communications has become one of the most important methods of marketing and building brand awareness. As competition in the region vastly increases, keeping up with the trends in communication is of vital importance for your company’s future growth and development.

During our extensive research we asked you what you would like to hear and we have delivered. IIR’s Corporate Communications 2008 features presentations on the following key corporate communications issues:

• CorporateCommunicationsAndReputationManagement• BoostingEmployeeEngagement• CrisisManagement• CorporateResponsibility• PRAndNewMedia

PLUS…Three innovative workshops will help you become a leader in corporate communications:

1. Pre - Conference Workshop A: Crisis Communication In The 21st Century

2. Pre - Conference Workshop B: Promoting Corporate Communications Value In Your Organisation

3. Post - Conference Workshop C: Reaping The Benefits Of Communications In Our Digital World

Take advantage of this opportunity to participate in strategic and interactive sessions, while learning from 25 regional and internal speakers with unparallel experience in corporate communications.

I look forward to welcoming you to this exciting event in February.

With warm regards,

Kosta PetrovSenior Conference Manager
