Bizcommunity.com is pleased to announce two partnerships to assist in fostering professional communications and networking in the public relations industry. The first is with industry personality, Brian Berkman, who in a short space of time with his networking forum, PR-Net, has managed to inject a new spark into an industry that is worst at promoting itself and networking for the betterment of its craft. The second media partnership is with Marcus Evans Conferences, to bring events relevant to the marketing and communications industry to our readers. The first event on the Marcus Evans calendar is 'PR and Corporate Communications', 14 - 16 March 2005, Park Hyatt Hotel, Rosebank, Johannesburg. In this new 'fast food' economy of ours, delineated by constant innovation and hamstrung by time famine, it is imperative that we continue the learning journey to encourage creativity and network, network, network. The best place to do this is at industry specific events where our homegrown experts share their hard-won experiences. Happy Valentines! Louise Marsland, Editor, editor@bizcommunity.com
