For the 13th time, “PR Impact Awards 2026” will bring together communication, marketing, and business professionals for discussions, presentations of the strongest projects of the year, and an awards ceremony.
This year’s theme is “Hate communication: emotions or facts?”.
Over the past year, communication has become more complex, sensitive, and faster than ever before. Topics are becoming more heated, reactions are growing stronger, and facts simply do not work without trust. How can we communicate in such an environment to ensure we are both heard and understood?
We will discuss this on June 5th at the new Marriott chain hotel, “AC Hotel Vilnius” (Vasario 16-osios St. 5, Vilnius).
The event will feature:
A conference on the theme “Hate communication: emotions or facts?”;
Presentations of the strongest projects of the year;
An awards ceremony.
