Cabinet Consensus Public Relations returns with a two-day Rabat summit on youth, CSR, business transformation and the future of work.

Cabinet Consensus Public Relations (CPR) is returning to the public events scene with a two-day summit in Rabat focused on young people and the role businesses can play in supporting them.

The event will take place on 16 and 17 December 2026, bringing together business leaders, experts, institutions and young talent to discuss how companies can put youth at the centre of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) policies.

The main question at the summit will be: “How can companies evolve their CSR policies to place youth at the heart of their priorities and turn them into true drivers of transformation, engagement and performance?”

The programme will include keynote speeches, panel discussions, CSR Talks, workshops and a social hackathon.

CPR said the event marks its return after several years spent focusing on dialogue between institutions, businesses, experts and decision-makers. It had stepped back from large public forums while focusing on private institutional consulting.

The summit will look at youth inclusion in corporate strategy, youth-led innovation, retaining young talent and how companies can measure the return on investment of social-impact programmes.

It will bring together C-suite executives, CSR and ESG directors, policymakers, youth leaders and academic researchers.

The event comes as youth employment remains a major economic issue. Young people represent a significant part of the population but many continue to face difficulties entering the labour market, with high levels of young people not in employment, education or training.

Businesses are also moving from traditional forms of philanthropy towards more structured environmental, social and governance (ESG) commitments, driven in part by regulation, international trade requirements and growing access to green and social finance.

CPR says the summit will seek to connect those changes with wider youth employment and entrepreneurship efforts.

A key issue will be whether companies can turn CSR commitments into measurable programmes that create opportunities for young people.

The social hackathon will be one practical test of that approach. Organisers will look at whether it can produce solutions that can be scaled and potentially receive corporate funding or incubator support.

CPR specialises in strategic communication, public relations, institutional diplomacy and public-private dialogue in North Africa.

It describes the two-day event as a chance to “connect generations, confront ideas, and reimagine the enterprise of tomorrow.”
