PRCA APAC launches Corporate Affairs Forum and Gold Standard Awards Awards 2025

PRCA APAC and PublicAffairsAsia will host the Corporate Affairs Forum and Gold Standard Awards on Wednesday, 8 th October 2025, at the American Club in Singapore.

This year’s theme, ‘Globalisation: What’s Next?’, will address geopolitical tensions, economic protectionism, and shifts in global supply chains, examining their impact on organisations in the Asia Pacific region. Bringing together influential voices in the corporate affairs, public affairs, government relations and communications fields, the Forum seeks to examine the shifting rules of engagement and provide insights on how public affairs and communications leaders can stay ahead, connected and resilient in an era of global uncertainty.

Following the Forum, the Gold Standard Awards 2025 will commence to recognise achievements in 25 categories, including stakeholder engagement, crisis management, media relations, and corporate social responsibility. The awards are open to agencies, corporations, NGOs and governmental organisations in Asia Pacific and the Middle East, with entries judged by a panel of industry leaders.

Ed Burleigh, Head of PRCA APAC, stated, "These back-to-back events are a real highlight in our annual calendar. This year I'm hoping to see an increase in attendees and award entries from across both APAC and MENA. Amidst the current geopolitical landscape, our theme this year promises to be particularly thought provoking and we can’t wait to announce the final lineup of speakers”.
