Experiencing Public Relations Celebrates Fifth Anniversary with International Webinar Series
Experiencing Public Relations, the flagship global gathering organised by the Public Relations Women Foundation, is celebrating its fifth anniversary with a significant step onto the international stage. The organisation has announced the launch of a five-part global webinar series, developed in strategic partnership with leading institutions and prominent ecosystem collaborators across various regions of the world.
As the Foundation’s premier event for business leaders, government officials, and senior decision-makers, Experiencing PR investigates how public relations and strategic communications deliver measurable economic, societal, and institutional benefits, particularly within emerging markets. Over the past four years, the Summit has established itself as a respected cross-sector platform where executives with decision-making authority engage in high-level dialogue about the role of narrative, reputation, and communication in fostering sustainable growth. Marking this milestone year, Experiencing Public Relations is expanding beyond Nigeria’s borders, signalling a new era of cross-continental dialogue and collaboration on the strategic role of public relations in business and governance.
According to the Convener, Tolulope Olorundero, this global expansion reflects both growth and deliberate intent. “From the beginning, Experiencing Public Relations was never designed to be just another industry event. It was built as a platform, one that positions public relations as an economic contributor to national, continental, and global development, especially in emerging markets. Public Relations itself is a leadership function central to innovation, investment, and sustainable economic growth. As we mark five years, taking the Summit global is a natural progression of that vision.”
The five international webinars will be hosted in collaboration with carefully selected partners across Africa, Asia, and North America. Each session will bring together high-level executives, founders, policymakers, and communications leaders to explore how narrative strategy shapes markets, influences capital flows, strengthens institutions, and drives competitive advantage in an increasingly complex global economy.
Over the years, Experiencing Public Relations has distinguished itself by bringing together stakeholders from multiple sectors and advancing a core principle: that strategic communication is not peripheral but fundamental to business success. Through thought leadership, high-level discussions, and cross-sector engagement, the platform has consistently demonstrated how public relations impacts investment outcomes, brand longevity, policy direction, and public trust.
This global expansion highlights the growing influence of Experiencing Public Relations within international business circles and reaffirms its commitment to elevating the perception of public relations to the highest levels of leadership and decision-making. By forging partnerships across continents, the organisation aims to strengthen connections between industries, governments, and emerging markets, with particular emphasis on conversations around entrepreneurship and narrative power in the Global South.
As Experiencing PR enters its next phase, this expansion supports the broader mission of the Public Relations Women Foundation to elevate leadership, enhance professional standards, and foster inclusive participation within the communications industry. Through its expanding global footprint, the Foundation continues to position public relations as a strategic pillar of economic and institutional advancement worldwide.
