MUMBAI, Apr. 29 /PRN=KYODO JBN / --

    In four weeks, Fleishman Hillard, MSL, Hill + Knowlton, Ketchum, Ogilvy PR

together with industry professionals from Coca-Cola India, Tata Sons, Novartis

India, Flipkart, Avantha Group, Myntra, Spice Global, GVK Power and

at Corporate Communication Summit, 2014 scheduled for 29-30 May at Novotel

Hotel, Mumbai, India.

    In the last year alone we have witnessed a surge of change within the

communications space. Social media channels use is ubiquitous, while smartphone

and tablet adoption growth continues to exceed forecasts. We are experiencing a

new 'always on, always consuming, always sharing' era of communications, and

this brings great opportunity for public relations and communications firms

that are moving alongside or ahead of these trends.

    What has been the reason behind this shift?  

    The dramatic shifts in behaviours among consumers and other stakeholders in

the way they learn about and share information about products and services,

particularly through social media channels and mobile messaging apps, demands

that the PR and corporate communications industry make fundamental changes to

its policies and approaches in order to remain relevant to brands.

Organisations are now looking at hiring skilled professionals who know the

trends of the business and can take the business's face value to a greater

extent.

    Matching the "New Rules in an Old Game", UBM is coming up with a 2-day

technical awe-inspiring workshop series called Corporate Communication Summit,

taking place on 29-30 May in Mumbai.

    This unique event has received a lot of interest and has already confirmed

corporate experts as workshop leaders from companies like Coca-Cola India, Tata

Sons, Novartis India, Flipkart, Avantha Group, Myntra, Spice Global, GVK Power

and Infrastructure and PR leaders like Don Anderson, Fleishman Hillard, Jaideep

Shergill, MSL Group, Radhika Shapoorjee, Hill & Knowlton, Jamie Moeller, Ogilvy

PR and many more.

    It has certainly shaped up to be a must attend event for all Communication

and PR professionals across industries. Find out more about Corporate

Communication, adopting Change Management and exploring digital & Online PR.

services, energy, technology, timber, telecommunications, chemical, defence and

brewing industries and many more would be discussed.

    An important addition to this event is "Tales from Corporate" which will

allow the corporates to talk about their experience in communicating to the

stakeholders and media during complex situations and connect with the audience

on their day-to-day challenges. Apart from the learning sessions, UBM has
