Peruvian ambassador honours IPRA President for 2015

At a ceremony in London attended by peers and the IPRA Board, Minister Daniel Roca on behalf of Ambassador to the Court of St James's Julio Muñoz-Deacon participated in the inauguration of IPRA's new President for 2015, Dr Amybel Sánchez de Walther.

In her speech of acceptance, Dr Sanchez recognised the heritage of IPRA and how some things remain constant in today's ultra-connected world: "I am IPRA's 51st President, in an organisation, which spans six decades. Two things remain key: education and information. The former is related to our own academic achievements and the latter nourishes our daily professional practice in the field and in the office."

The International Public Relations Association (IPRA) will also be hosting its World Congress in South Africa in 2015 and choosing Johannesburg as their preferred venue following a successful bid from Joburg Tourism.

The congress is due to take place at the Sandton Convention Centre, with the expected number of delegates to be in the region of 500 - perhaps more - from all over the world. The date has been finalised for the 27-29 of September 2015.
