For most public affairs professionals, the fact that the idea behind the EU's recent transparency initiative has been to restore faith in the Union has not eluded them.

But restoring faith is quite difficult to achieve just through the occasional “miracle”.

Even more so against the backdrop not just of profound inter-institutional change, but also of dramatic political turmoil both on the national and international stage.

One thing is certain: the co-dependencies of legislation and interest groups will continue their adaptation process under these new circumstances for the foreseeable future with undiminished intensity.

The first day of our conference will focus both on public affairs strategies and campaigning, but also on the structural value of a Brussels representation in corporate and ­national strategies.

On the second day we will take a closer look at specific tools and methods, ­empowering you to improve the efficiency of your public affairs work.

During this two-day event we facilitate interactions between ­public affairs professionals, political ­analysts and EU representatives who are ready to ­answer all your questions.
