The CIPR Greater London Group has brought together some of the PR professionals handling some of the capital's biggest coronavirus comms programmes.

We asked them to share how they've battled in this crisis, what's worked and what's kept them awake at night.

The result: #Coronacon. A two-part online event across consecutive Tuesdays 9 and 16 June 2020 at 16:00-18:00 London time.

Proceeds to the CIPR’s iProvision benevolent fund and food redistribution charity The Felix Project.
