The Baltic Weekend is the largest international forum on communications in Central and Eastern Europe, bringing together the national and international experts in PR, marketing and advertising. The forum is organized by the SPN Communications agency.

Since 2017, the Baltic Weekend has widened its geography of coverage by introducing forums outside Saint-Petersburg.

The forum agenda covered the most challenging and vital questions of the communication industry: the impact of digital technologies and artificial intelligence on marketing, regional branding, tendencies in digital and social media, GR effectiveness and so forth.
The Saint-Petersburg forum annually brings together more than 500 communication industry specialists from different corners of the world – from CIS countries to South America.
