Testimonials from previous PRmoment Conferences:

"A big thank you for the conference today. This was my first PRmoment event and I have to say I am very impressed. All the speakers offered really great insights from a variety of angles, without straying from the main subject. I would definitely attend another PRmoment course and recommend them to colleagues and connections." Rebecca Lee, Chillisauce

"Thank you for organising a terrific conference. I hate conferences which are usually a load of old codgers telling each other how great they are. This was a genuine "you don't know what you don't know" moment for me and I've already made arrangements to work with two of the speakers to improve my agency." John Williams, CEO of Mason Williams Communications

Please note: Unlike many other PR conferences, none of our speakers pay for the privilege of speaking. They are all chosen by our editorial department because of their expert opinion. We do this because we believe that if delegates are paying to attend a conference, there is a conflict of interest if the speakers have paid to speak.

Also, just to reassure you, PRmoment does not share delegate details with any third parties.
