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.
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 Europe Conference postponed to September
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.
