The UK Public Relations and Communications Association (PRCA) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding for mutual cooperation with Logeion, the Netherlands association for communications professionals.
Logeion provides an inspiring platform for all communication professionals in the Netherlands and currently has more than 4,000 members. It is the second oldest professional communications organisation worldwide and has a rich tradition of innovation since its founding 70 years ago.

Representing practitioners across the whole range of the PR and communications industry, the PRCA promotes all aspects of public relations and communications work, helping teams and individuals maximise the value they deliver to clients and organisations.
The agreement between the two bodies will include the exchange of knowledge via events and whitepapers; Board co-operation; co-promotion of events to the respective members of each organisation; and shared insights on topics such as ethical codes. Logeion will also designate London as the destination of its annual study trip in Q2 2019.
Francis Ingham MPRCA, Director General, PRCA, said: “We are very pleased to forge this new bilateral relationship with Logeion, an association which plays a hugely important role within the Dutch communications community.
