About The Event

The international PRO PR (Professional Public Relations) Conference has the mission of connecting experts who are part of the public relations industry, but also those who are part of the integrated communication process.

In our mission, we connect, educate and create new values so that public relations experts, who are in the function of management, could continue to create and preserve the reputation – one of the important keys to success in this field. Reputation is not bought but created and it is a process behind which are vision, strategies, implementation, individuals, and teams, who, every day, with their work and sacrifice, contribute to a better reputation, positioning of their institutions, companies, brands through various techniques and tools of public relations profession.

We understand and follow the trends within the communication industry and through lectures, panels and workshops we provide new information through practical examples and guidelines so that together we can be better. Public relations is everything that surrounds us, just like the nature of verbal and non-verbal communication.

We have been building our reputation for 22 years to become the leading specialized conference mainly focused on public relations topics. Our participants, lecturers, sponsors, media partners, and those who support us represent a group that together through the PRO PR conference promotes the key values of the communication profession, which, like the conference, transforms following innovations that change relations with the public by providing opportunities for their improvement.

Networking in motion
"Leadership in Comunication"

The 22nd International PRO PR conference is upon us. The program motto of the conference “Leadership In Communication”, along with numerous lectures from different fields, will try to provide answers to the question of what leadership in communications is and what communication with an emphasis on public relations represents to company leaders. The conference is held under the auspices of the town of Crkvenica and the tourist community of the town of Crikvenica. In cooperation with the hospitality group Jadran d.d., they will have the opportunity to get to know the Hotel Katarina in Selce. The conference will be held from April 3rd to 6th, 2025.

I want to thank everyone who has been a part of the PRO PR conference so far and everyone who will be.

I have been associated with the communications industry with a focus on public relations at the beginning and now on strategic communications for 35 years, and I’ve been thinking about how to connect experts who are engaged in this profession, so I founded the PRO PR conference in 2003.

The PRO PR conference is the only leading educational platform focused on public relations topics. Behind every project, including this one, which is specific because every year it takes place in a different country, in a different location if the conditions are there, we inspire public relations.

This path was not easy at all, but with our vision, perseverance, and resistance of lecturers and sponsors of international associations that programmatically support the conference, the Public Relations and Communications Association (PRCA) and International Public Relations Association (IPRA), we managed to create a recognizable point that connects the profession of public relations. In addition, it exchanges knowledge and experience, rewards and acts independently of political influence, leading to ethical business standards and the global goals of sustainable development.

When I turn around, I see thousands and thousands of kilometers, I see hugs and handshakes. I see connections and agreements between our participants, but I also see new friendships and new loves – all this is PRO PR conference and that’s the reason why our motto is “Networking in motion”. We are in a time when public relations and perception are changing. They were once the primary focus of relations with the media, and today more than ever they are a strategic management function that functions synergistically in different areas and levels of corporate communication, digital communication, social responsibility, brand management, event management, political communication, ESG strategy communication (Environment, Social, Governance), charity, foundation and other economic areas through different organizations from those that advise and implement communication of public administrations, private sectors, non-profit organizations. The synergy of knowledge is more present than ever. Public relations standards, their perception, and their position in Southeast Europe and globally are not the same in all countries. Like all industries, the public relations industry is constantly being built, and changing, and thanks to digital transformation, new generations, and their communication habits, public relations is taking on a new role. Recently, fake news, media transparency and climate change, media transformation, and new challenges imposed by the role of artificial intelligence in communication have influenced the development of new projects and communication messages, just like the ethical standards that represent the key to trust. I am happy that together with my team and partners I can realize our vision. I look forward to meeting you at the next PRO PR conference, of course, if time permits your projects and plans so that we can be together in the mission of inspiring communication.

PRO PR Globe Awards

On the occasion of marking the tenth anniversary of the PRO PR conference in 2012, a unique award
program called the PRO PR Globe Awards was established for individual experts who make a
a significant contribution to the development of public relations.
This award was also recognized by five world communication associations: PRCA (Public Relations
and Communications Association), IPRA (International Public Relations Association), ICCO
(International Communications Consultancy Organization), CIPR (Chartered Institute of Public
Relations) and WCFA (World Communications Forum Association), which through their nominations provide support for awarding excellence.
Unlike other award programs, winners do not pay a registration fee, and commemorative statues are
made by students of academies and faculties of fine arts in the host country of the PRO PR
conference.
As part of the PRO PR Globe Awards, PRO PR Vision City, PRO PR Vision Manager, and the Infigo
Awards are given for a special contribution to the development of the communications industry.

The PRO PR Globe People Achievement Awards was founded in 2012 and until 2025 were awarded under the name PRO PR Globe Awards. New brand architecture and new content gave new creativity.

TOGETHER WE CAN DO MORE

Connected within the communication industry we can always do more for
the industry, for its prosperity and development. Every individual, every team, and every
organization can do more if they want to. We are grateful to the organizations and partners
who support us.

SELCE

Situated on the south of the Crikvenica Riviera, in the beautiful surroundings of a scenic bay in one of the most picturesque parts of the Adriatic. Selce offers its guests a wide range of facilities regardless of whether you are looking for a dynamic and exciting holiday or a relaxing and quiet family vacation. Selce was once a small fisherman and stonemason village. A few traces of Roman times are also present. The historical small town and modern tourism facilities live side by side, enriching and completing each other.

The clean and clear sea and a swimming season stretching from May to October, are additional reasons to come here. Public beaches, just a bit further along, blend into quiet bays with secluded beaches…
