Achieving more together!
The EAPC, the European Association of Political Consultants, has grown well in recent years, thanks to many initiatives. With the EAPC Academy,
the “European Political Consultant Day” on 14 September, as well as our annual Europe Conference and the permanent information, we have been able to make our association much more attractive. We would like to take advantage of the increased interest in EAPC and invite all those working in the political consulting, political campaigning, reporting, academia or polling industry to become part of our EAPC family. Being a member of EAPC brings a multitude of benefits, such as:
- Close contact with colleagues across Europe
- Exchange of experiences
- Use of skills for your own business
- Reduced participation fees for the EAPC Europe Conference (saving
200,00 Euro) - Reduced participation fees for the annual conference of the IAPC –
