Experiencing Public Relations Marks 5th Anniversary With Bold Step Onto Global Stage

Experiencing Public Relations, the flagship global convening of the Public Relations Women Foundation, is celebrating its fifth anniversary with a bold step onto the global stage, announcing the launch of a five-part international webinar series with strategic partnership with leading institutions and high-profile ecosystem collaborators across multiple regions of the world.

As the Foundation’s premier gathering for business leaders, government professionals, and senior decision-makers, Experiencing PR explores how public relations and strategic communications deliver measurable economic, societal, and institutional value, particularly within emerging markets.

Over the past four years, the Summit has grown into a respected cross-sector platform where executives with decision-making authority engage in high-level dialogue on the role of narrative, reputation, and communication in driving sustainable growth.

As it marks this milestone year, Experiencing Public Relations is expanding its footprint beyond Nigeria’s borders, signaling a new era of cross-continental dialogue and collaboration around the strategic role of public relations in business and governance.

According to the Convener, Tolulope Olorundero, the global expansion reflects both growth and intention. “From the beginning, Experiencing Public Relations was never designed to be just another industry event. It was built as a platform, one that positions public relations as an economic contributor to national, continental, and global development, especially in emerging markets. Public Relations itself is a leadership function central to innovation, investment, and sustainable economic growth. As we mark five years, taking the Summit global is a natural progression of that vision.”

The five global webinars will be hosted in collaboration with carefully selected international partners across Africa, Asia, and North America. Each convening will bring together high-level executives, founders, policymakers, and communications leaders to examine how narrative strategy shapes markets, influences capital flows, strengthens institutions, and drives competitive advantage in an increasingly complex global economy.

Over the past years, Experiencing Public Relations has distinguished itself by convening multi-level stakeholders and advancing one core idea: that strategic communication is not peripheral to business success but foundational to it.

Through thought leadership, high-level conversations, and cross-sector engagement, the platform has consistently demonstrated how public relations influences investment outcomes, brand longevity, policy direction, and public trust.

The global expansion underscores Experiencing Public Relations’ growing influence within international business circles and reinforces its commitment to elevating the perception of public relations to the highest levels of leadership and decision-making.

By forging partnerships across continents, the platform aims to build stronger bridges between industries, governments, and emerging markets, particularly amplifying conversations around entrepreneurship and narrative power in the Global South.

As Experiencing PR enters its next phase, the expansion reinforces the broader mission of the Public Relations Women Foundation to elevate leadership, strengthen professional standards, and advance inclusive participation within the communications industry.

Through this global footprint, the Foundation continues to position public relations as a strategic pillar of economic and institutional advancement worldwide.
