PR in Emerging Nations conference signs up new partner

The organising committee of the forthcoming London PR Business Week (LPRBW) and its highlight conference event, “Public relations in emerging markets - today’s realities, tomorrow’s possibilities” is pleased to announce that Alistair McLeish, Chairman of MMD the largest PR agency in the CEE and CIS will be speaking at the Conference on the 'The Role of Corporate and Public Affairs in Company Expansion - both CIS Westward and Multinational Inward' including particular focus on:

1. Expansion of CIS companies westward
*corporate governance at home
*the role of Washington DC, New York, London & Brussels

2. Inward investment into CIS
* how 'wild' is the East?
* competitive advantage of well-defined communications structure

Mr. McLeish’s speech has even greater resonance given the fact that Rosneft, Russia’s biggest oil company, is MMD’s client.
In view of the recent comments made by Sir Martin Sorrel, Chairman of WPP, regarding emerging markets and possibilities they afford for expansion to western PR companies, Mr. McLeish’s appearance at the Conference makes it an event not to be missed for any western PR practitioner who is serious about expanding into the CEE and the CIS.
