EAPC Europe conference postponed to May 2022 due to Covid-19
It should have been a long-awaited reunion of our industry, but unfortunately Covid won’t let it happen. The rapidly increasing numbers of infected people in Austria and across Europe are bringing new restrictions and have caused such uncertainty for both, participants and speakers, that a postponement of the conference was unavoidable.
“We are very sorry that this autumn conference cannot take place. It would have been a wonderful celebration,” said Sepp Hartinger, who is responsible for organising the conference with his agency Hartinger Consulting.
The EAPC Europe Conference will now be staged in May 2022, again in Vienna. “We all hope that by then Covid will have been contained to such an extent that nothing will stand in the way of a joint meeting.”
EAPC starts new
member initiative in 2021
Growing. More influence. Contributing even more to the development of democracy in Europe – that’s the aim of the EAPC in its anniversary year 2021.
“Therefore, we started a big new initiative to recruit new colleagues from our industry as new members for the EAPC. Our goal for 2021 is to reach having members in every country on our continent”, says the Board.
EAPC launches its own academy
The European Association expands its service for members. Since December of last year, it has had its own academy, at which top-class experts give presentations on special campaign topics every two months and are then available to participants for a casual discussion. Rick Ridder from the USA kicked off this series of events organized via Zoom. At the beginning of February, Feyi Akindoeyni from Australia presented fantastic insights into the latest trends in digital campaigning.
The next event takes place on April 6.
