For Immediate Release 

PR: The Inside Out Perspective

at IPRS PRISM Summit 2024

Singapore, 12 August 2024 - Leadership and strategy are at the heart of the IPRS PRISM Summit on 24 October 2024, which will be held at One Farrer Hotel. A half-day conference, the biennial PRISM Summit 2024 promises to be a dynamic and knowledge-driven event for the PR and communications industry, with two keynote fireside Q&As, two panel discussions as well as a networking lunch with a diverse community of business leaders and professionals across industries.

This year’s summit will be anchored by three pillars driving organisational success in an ever-changing and highly connected world: organisational leadership; communications strategy and social media engagement.

Organised and curated by the Institute of Public Relations of Singapore, this year’s distinguished speakers include: Ho Kwon Ping (Executive Chairman at Banyan Group) Debra Soon (Group Head, Brand, Communications & Marketing at Singlife), Abel Ang (Group CEO, Advanced MedTech), Ross Gan (Chief Communications Officer, Bitdeer Group), Danny Tan (Managing Director, Grayling) and Kelvin Koh (Managing Director, Truescope Singapore).

Since IPRS was formed in 1970, it has played a key role in supporting and growing Singapore's PR community, through learning and development as well as networking, to set industry standards and elevate public awareness for the PR industry.

"The PR professional is the partner you need in achieving business and organisational success. Everything has a communications outcome. In many scenarios be it public impact or personal reputation - a seasoned PR counsel is the strategic voice you need. The Summit invites leading practitioners to share their top insights on corporate and communications skills." says Koh Juat Muay, President of IPRS.

“While social media has democratised the power of voice, it is leadership and strategic finesse that craft the perfect story. In a world of fake news and AI generated content, the impact of a well-executed PR strategy is much needed, especially to protect reputation. Redhill proudly stands as the platinum sponsor of this prestigious event bringing together the industry’s masters” says Manisha Seewal, Group President of Redhill Communications.

The PRISM Summit is supported by Platinum Sponsor Redhill, Gold Sponsor Truescope, and Silver Sponsor IN.FOM
