Helping members navigate one of the biggest shifts in Communications.

AI AT IPREX

AI is no longer a niche topic for agencies. It is influencing how teams work, how content is created, how insight is gathered, and how clients expect value to be delivered. IPREX is helping members navigate that change by sharing knowledge, surfacing practical tools and creating space for informed discussion across the network.

From blogs and toolkits to webinars, conference sessions and Academy learning, this page brings together the ways IPREX is helping members respond with clarity, curiosity and confidence.

IPREX’s AI-related blog content explores the opportunities, challenges and practical realities of using AI across communications and agency life.

Artificial intelligence is reshaping communications, agency operations and client expectations. Across IPREX, we are helping members understand that shift through thought leadership, practical resources, webinars, conference sessions and leadership development.

Webinars and real-world AI discussions

  • Leading with responsible AI: bias, fairness and the future of communications

You’ll hear insights from Dr. Kalinda Ukanwa (University of California Irvine) on responsible AI and marketplace disparities, with Karen Ong (Marketing for Change) moderating and welcome remarks from David Rudd (Rudd Resources).

  • Global Communications in the Age of AI

    November 2026

    As part of Ragan Communications Week, IPREX convened a global panel of communications leaders to explore the forces reshaping the PR industry. Artificial intelligence took centre stage, transforming how we created, analysed, and delivered communications, while raising new questions about ethics, accuracy, and impact. It was a candid, practical conversation on how agencies are adapting, where AI added value (and where it fell short), and what it meant for the future of connecting across borders.
