In just a few weeks, Lake Bled will become the global hotspot for PR scholars and practitioners. This year, we are diving into the deep end with a powerhouse theme: Disaster, Health, and Organizational Crisis Communication.

In today’s unpredictable world, knowing how to communicate through a storm isn’t just a skill, it’s a superpower. We can’t wait to hear from leading experts, including the legendary crisis communication expert W. Timothy Coombs!

Stunning views, cutting-edge insights, and unbeatable networking await. 🏔️🤝

They say the best ideas are born over a great meal, and at BledCom, we couldn’t agree more! 🥂

This year’s dinners will take us from the iconic terraces of Bled Castle to the locally inspired, seasonal cuisine of Vila Podvin and the warm, creative atmosphere of Gostilna Krištof.

Three evenings. Three unforgettable settings. One community of inspiring conversations.

See you at the table in June. 🥂

Celebrating 5 Years of Global Solidarity in Communication 🎉

We are honored to see BledCom featured in the newly released Anniversary Album by INTERDECOM.

This milestone marks five years of the International Declaration of Communications Professionals and Researchers, a movement dedicated to ethics, responsibility, and the role of communication in a transforming world.

Since its inception, the Declaration has resonated deeply with the spirit of BledCom. We believe that bridging research and practice is essential to addressing today’s global challenges.

A huge thank you to Solange Tremblay and the entire INTERDECOM team for their important work in uniting our global community. Here’s to many more years of meaningful dialogue!

Crises don’t wait. So why should decision-making?

Crisis mitigation isn’t a one-time decision, but a continuous process. Boyd’s OODA Loop (Observe, Orient, Decide, Act) offers a practical framework for moving from risk identification to action in dynamic and unpredictable situations. By continuously observing signals, making sense of information, deciding on responses, and acting while learning from outcomes, organizations can react faster and mitigate crises more effectively.

Where do organizations usually get stuck in the loop: Observe, Orient, Decide, or Act? 🤔
