Doing Digital Forum Wins Double Recognition at the IPRA GWA 2025

The annual Doing Digital Forum (DDF) — Armenia’s leading platform for digital transformation, innovation, and policy dialogue — has been honored with double awards at the International Public Relations Association (IPRA) Golden World Awards 2025 for its campaign Doing Digital Forum: Armenia as a Technology Hub, winning in the Technology and Country/Region categories. The ceremony took place on October 3 in Accra, Ghana, bringing together communication leaders and experts from across the globe.

As Armenia advances its nationwide digitalization strategy, SPRING PR organizes the annual Doing Digital Forum — a central platform that brings together government, the private sector, and global thinkers to explore technologies shaping tomorrow’s economies and to position Armenia as a bridge between regional innovation and global expertise.

Tatevik Simonyan, Founder of the Doing Digital Forum and Co-Founder of SPRING PR Company, noted that the dual victory underscores the Forum’s influence in both technology and national positioning: “This double recognition means a lot to us — it reflects the very purpose of the Doing Digital Forum: to create a platform where government, business, and global experts converge to exchange ideas and shape the digital future. Through “Doing Digital,” Armenia has become a true meeting point for innovation and collaboration, and we are proud to see that vision recognized on the international stage.”

Over the past three years, The Doing Digital Forum has evolved into a year-round platform that has been highlighted by leading international outlets such as Forbes, Yahoo Finance, and the Associated Press, among many others. Beyond visibility, it serves as a catalyst for influence — transforming participants, speakers, and partners into ambassadors of Armenia’s digital transformation and strengthening the country’s position within the global digital ecosystem.

Philip Sheppard, Secretary General of the International Public Relations Association, congratulated the winner, stating: “This was a great double accolade for SPRING PR. Both these categories Technology and Country/Region are highly contested. The judges were impressed with the creativity and also the scope of the Forum.”

Since its inception in 2023, the Doing Digital Forum has welcomed more than 3,000 participants and over 60 internationally recognized speakers from across Armenia, Europe, the Middle East, and beyond. Over the years, it has established strong partnerships and collaborations with key institutions shaping the digital landscape.
