About the Event

Welcome to the 14th edition of the Crisis Communications Boot Camp and our first live Crisis Comms Boot Camp in 2021!

The COVID-19 pandemic and the societal and political turmoil have drastically changed the way that consumers interact with brands. In this new reality, it is now more important than ever to communicate effectively to the right audience, with the right message and plan for every potential threat to your brand’s reputation.

In our two days, interactive Boot Camp, our international panel of speakers will help you identify and tackle every element of a crisis whilst safeguarding your organization's reputation in a post-pandemic world. 

Please note that the Boot Camp is a live, in-person event, limited to 70 participants only. For those that choose to attend the event virtually, all content from the Boot Camp will be live-streamed online in real-time and recorded for you to watch in case you miss anything.
