We are entering 2021 with moderate optimism due to the approval of vaccines but expect widespread travel to start normalising only in the second half of the year – too late for our conference scheduled for July 2 – 3, 2021. So, we have decided it would be safe for the 28th International Public Relations Research Symposium (BledCom)
to again be fully digital.
Given the disruption that a public health crisis has brought upon us, we chose the theme: Public Relations, Public Risk and Crisis Communication.

Virtual classrooms, parallel sessions and plenary sessions at BledCom 2021
We have been planning how to provide as meaningful an experience as possible and shall continue to work on fine tuning it. At this point we can share with you that we plan to organise virtual classrooms for debates, as well as parallel sessions and plenary sessions organised to accommodate different time-zones. The program will enable synchronous discussions between participants.
We are happy to inform you that because of the generosity of our sponsors, which will take care of the fee we will need to pay digital providers, we are able to waive the registration fees for BledCom 2021! 2021 is already looking good!
