Almost all aspects of life have undergone significant changes due to the coronavirus pandemic, so the question arises – what will the world look like after the pandemic? The scientific and multidisciplinary answer will be provided by the international scientific conference Communication Management Forum 2021 with the topic “Post-pandemic world: bad image or good opportunity?” held on March 19 and 20, 2021, in a virtual environment.
The fourth edition of the conference, organized by Edward Bernays University College, was joined by the Institute for Social Research in Zagreb and the Institute for Tourism. The Communication Management Forum 2021 (CMF) organizers will gather eminent scientists and experts who will try to answer what kind of world awaits us when the pandemic ends.
Doc. dr. sc. Damir Jugo, an expert in strategic and crisis communication, Dean of Edward Bernays University College, and Co-Chair of the CMF Program Committee, points out that the pandemic has proven that organizations must follow current society trends or their existence is threatened.
“The situation with the pandemic has proven that all organizations must be ready for change. The pandemic imposed new circumstances of work, learning, and action, and only those who resolutely and willingly tackled the crisis got the best out of it,” says Jugo.
