this is the subsection from their website:
Dealing with local protest groups
* Why protest groups are sucessful at media management
* How forward planning can reduce opposition
* How your crisis management plan should work
* Strategies for turning public opinion in your favour
the short answer to the first one is that protest groups are honest people working for something they believe in (for no pay), while people who need pr conferences are scammers trying to steal from you and your neighbours.

Also, PR people will always try to demonise the protest groups, which always backfires. It is because they think that is their only option.
£700 for a PR conference, if it is full, shows how good the organisers are at fooling those who want to be fooled!
And I say all this as someone who originally qualified in marketing to a postgrad level (ooh my sins!!)
