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.
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.
Due to the Covid-19 pandemic we had to cancel our European Conference in 2020, which was planned to be held in Tbilisi/Georgia. But now it is confirmed that our conference will certainly take place in 2021.
On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the EAPC, the conference returns to its place of foundation and will be staged in Vienna. Due to the still difficult situation of the Covid pandemic in Europe, the EAPC Board has decided to postpone the 2021 conference until September. If a physical conference in September is not possible, a virtual conference will be organized.
Election campaigns in Europe are always an extremely interesting story. Each country has its own structure, culture and its own challenges. Finding out more about the background and insides of the campaigns is very important to us as EAPC. Find out more about election campaigns in Europe through interviews with insiders.
Due to the resignation of Ilkka Ahtokivi and Graham Godwin-Pearson, some positions in the EAPC Board have been vacant for some time. This gap has now been filled with the co-optation of Dr. Gülfem Saydan Sanver and Justine Cassar-Gaspar.
The Covid-19 pandemic is one of the greatest challenges of our time. As part of a cooperation project between EAPC and “Palace of New Thinking” (PONT), alternative approaches in combating the crisis were developed.

In 2021 EAPC is celebrating its 25thanniversary. Reason enough for our association to forge new plans about the future of Europe’s largest association of political consultants via a very interesting and successful Zoom conference.
Africa’s young political consultants have become increasingly important not only on this continent but also worldwide. Some years ago, they founded their own African Association of Political Consultants with an annual conference. An exchange program was launched last year to forge a new relationship between both associations.
