What communicatEU? EuroPCom 2017: the European Public Communication Conference

06/11/2017 | BAM! Strategie Culturali | Events

On Thursday 9 and Friday 10 November 2017 more than 800 EU communication professionals will gather at EuroPCom, the European Public Communication Conference, the annual meeting point for communication managers and senior experts from local, regional, national and European authorities. During this two day event, public communication professionals will debate on how to improve public communication and raise awareness of the EU policies. We already asked some questions on the topic to Matteo Salvai, Communication Officer at European Commission DG Regio (if you want to read his answers here), and we are looking forward to hear out other voices.

The conference is organised by the European Committee of the Regions, in close cooperation with the European Parliament, the Council of the EU, the European Commission and the European Economic and Social Committee.

The European Public Communication Award aims to showcase the best practices and to promote professional EU communication at all levels of governance. The fifth Award will be presented at opening session of the conference. In addition, a special prize 2017 will give recognition to an innovative communication project that aims to boost citizen engagement tor the EU.
