Welcome to the annual conference of the EAPC family. This time in a very special city, Izmir/Turkey.
From Wednesday, May 3, to Friday, May 5, 2023.
You can look forward to top-class speakers, a unique exchange of experiences with colleagues from many nations and a breathtaking social program that will take us to the House of the Virgin Mary and the historic city of Ephesus, among other places.
It is best to book your participation right now. With the early bird bonus, you save good money.
The main theme of the Europe Conference:
The world of political campaigning has gotten rougher. Much rougher. And we can see the consequences in the examples of the storming of the Capitol and government buildings in the U.S. and Brazil. In Europe, too, the fronts are hardening, causing democratic values to be undermined. What are the causes of this development? Is it not also the responsibility of political advisors to emphasize the values of democracy much more than they have in the past? Shouldn’t we emphasize the added value of our own idea much more than fighting the political added value? All these issues will shape our conference in Izmir.

The opportunity to spend May in Izmir, but also the unique social program are reasons enough to register for the conference with your loved ones this time. Also, the very reasonable registration fee for one accompanying person, which does not include the participation in the conference, but the whole social program – from cocktail reception to Epheses, Izmir Old Town and Gala Dinner – should convince you. In addition, this year we have introduced a separate “student category” for which we would like participants to invite an additional student and cover the conference costs for him/her. Here we would like to see a strong interest.
Book your participation now and take advantage of our Early Bird program where you save up to 200,00 Euro.
