The event

The region's flagship PR and communication gathering

East Africa PR Week (EAPRW) brings together communication professionals from across the region for five days of learning, dialogue and connection. The 2026 edition runs under the theme Reimagining Communication in East Africa — a call to rethink how the region tells its stories, builds trust and earns influence in a rapidly changing world.

Delegates will explore the future of communication, digital transformation and AI, trust and reputation, leadership, storytelling and crisis resilience — through keynote addresses, panel discussions and practical sessions led by respected voices from across East Africa and beyond.

Beyond the conference room, EAPRW 2026 is an invitation to experience Malindi — the people, culture, heritage and coastline of Kilifi County — and to build relationships that last long after the week ends.
