The stellar line-up of fascinating speakers will take delegates through their paces on what to look out for and what the future holds for reputation management.
Managing Director of Reputation Matters, Regine le Roux, says, “How an organisation operates at all levels and in all business functions ultimately contributes or breaks down its reputation. Local experts as well as guest speakers from the United States of America (USA), Poland, Germany and Australia will provide insight on numerous aspects of reputation management.”
Multiple award-winning public relations and marketing executive, Huma Gruaz, founder of Alpaytac communication agency in the USA, is one speaker not to miss.
