The 33rd International Public Relations Research Symposium BledCom 2026 will take place on 26 and 27 June 2026 at the Hotel Rikli Balance in Bled. The central theme of the conference is “Disaster, Health, and Organizational Crisis Communication.”

The keynote speaker will be W. Timothy Coombs, consultant at the Centre for Crisis and Risk Communications, Canada. Coombs is a leading global authority in the field of crisis communication.

BledCom is organised by the Centre for Marketing and Public Relations at the Faculty of Social Sciences, University of Ljubljana, under the leadership of Prof. Dr Dejan Verčič (University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Social Sciences) and Herman & Partners.

BledCom was created in response to the need for a global forum for both academics and practitioners to explore the rapidly growing body of international public relations and related applied communication disciplines, including corporate and marketing communication, public affairs and public relations, relationship and reputation management.

BledCom was started in 1994 at the initiative of dr. Dejan Verčič (University of Ljubljana, Slovenia), Danny Moss (Manchester Metropolitan University, UK) and Toby MacManus (Bornemout University, UK).
