As an ICCO member, you have the unique opportunity to actively participate in one of our Working Groups—a platform to collaborate with global experts, expand your network, and drive meaningful change in the PR and communications industry.

Our Working Groups are at the heart of ICCO’s broader advocacy work, creating vital tools such as industry guidelines, benchmark reports, and resources that support our strategic partnerships with organisations like the Council of Europe and UNDP.
