During the three-day workshop, all participants had a unique opportunity to attend lectures delivered by renowned lecturers, public figures and students themselves on a range of topical communication and field-related subjects.

To test their practical skills, creativity and ingenuity, students were given the task of devising PR campaign plans for various companies under the guidance of the camp sponsors and moderators ranging from communication practitioners to lecturers and university teachers. This year students were also evaluated by Olga Kazaka. The other jury members were Inga Latkovska, Head of the Latvian Association of Public Relations Agencies; Tomass Kotovičs, President of the Latvian Association of Public Relations Professionals; Dr. Phil. Dennis L. Wilcox, Professor at San Jose State University (USA), and Dr. Phil. Bryan Reber, Associate Professor at the College of Communication and Information Sciences, Georgia University (USA).
