SUMMARY:World Public Relations Forum 2026
DESCRIPTION:In November 2026\, the global community of public relations and communication leaders will converge in Abuja\, Nigeria\, for the 13th World Public Relations Forum (WPRF). Organised by the Global Alliance for Public Relations and Communication Management and hosted by the Nigerian Institute of Public Relations (NIPR)\, this landmark event coincides with the Silver Jubilee of the Global Alliance and promises to be a defining moment for the profession. Nigeria\, Africa’s largest economy and cultural powerhouse\, offers an exceptional backdrop for this historic gathering.

With state-of-the-art facilities at the International Conference Centre and luxury hospitality provided by premier hotels\, delegates will experience an environment that blends professionalism with Nigeria’s famed warmth and cultural richness. \n\nThemed “Responsible Communication: The Voice of the World”\, WPRF 2026 will explore the role of communication in advancing trust\, ethical leadership\, social cohesion\, and sustainable development. At a time when misinformation\, fragmentation\, and global uncertainty pose new challenges\, the forum will provide a platform for dialogue on how public relations can foster integrity\, inclusion\, and shared progress. \nThe programme features keynote addresses by world-renowned thought leaders\, academic discourses\, multi-level plenary sessions\, cultural showcases\, and youth engagement initiatives. Highlights include the unveiling of the Global Alliance Anthem\, a Presidential Banquet at Aso Villa\, the World Cultural Parade\, an African Culture Splash\, a Public Relations Book Fair\, and networking events that bridge continents. Beyond intellectual exchange\, these experiences will celebrate diversity\, promote global partnerships\, and project Africa’s creativity and innovation onto the world stage. \nWith endorsements from the African Public Relations Association (APRA)\, the Federal Ministry of Information and National Orientation\, and other international partners\, Nigeria is poised to deliver a transformative forum that will leave a lasting legacy for the global profession. By hosting WPRF 2026\, NIPR affirms its leadership in redefining public relations as a force for governance\, diplomacy\, and sustainable development.

SUMMARY:NCA2026 | 112th Annual Convention
DESCRIPTION:The 112th Annual Convention in New Orleans will explore move/ment(s) in the field of Communication. Movement is the defining feature of humans in the 21st century. We are a species on the move – as migrants\, tourists\, refugees\, workers\, asylees\, and students. Movement brings flux\, assumes risk\, implies intermixing\, and sows the seeds for “both/and” thinking. Move/ment is full of interpretive possibilities for scholars\, teachers\, and practitioners of Communication. \nAs we gather in New Orleans\, which is marked by epochal movements of people\, capital\, goods\, ideas\, and culture\, we will reflect on the various avatars of movement. Movement is also inherent to the celebratory fervor of Second Lining\, the quintessential New Orleans form of communal celebration. The sobering legacies of Hurricane Katrina and the mass displacement in its wake also offer a reckoning for how we move and can be moved away/for/into places and spaces.
