PR giants coming to India

The giants of global public relations industry will be in New Delhi in October 2006 to address the 2006 ICCO Global Summit.

Among those who would address the meeting include Burson-Marsteller Founder Chairman Harold Burson, Weber Shandwick CEO Harris Diamond, Porter Novelli CEO Helen Ostrowski and Text 100 CEO Aedhmar Hynes.

ICCO is the apex body of over 850 public relations consultancies across the globe. This is the first time in its history that the annual summit is being organised in Asia, reflecting the growing importance of the region in the world economy, according to press release.

The summit has been organised in association with Public Relations Consultants Association of India (PRCAI) and is supported by The India Brand Equity Foundation (IBEF).

“The ICCO Summit is a great platform for global communication leaders to see the vast opportunities that India offers,” says Nandita Lakshmanan, President, PRCAI. “It is also the right time for both the Indian PR industry and its counterparts worldwide to explore the synergies and dichotomies between economies, to leverage the opportunities and beat challenges posed by globalisation.”
