The European Communication Summit
The European Communication Summit brings together top-class communication professionals from all over Europe, from a wide variety of different fields and sectors.
After the enormous success of the ECS in June 2007, wherein so many first-class communication directors and experts were able to share their experiences and discuss the challenges of our profession, the demand for a top-quality experience at this year’s conference was considerable. Therefore, we are very proud to have seen so many of the most renowned and interesting professionals from the communications field hold forth at the European Communication Summit in 2008.
Communication leaders from business, politics, various associations and the media were in attendance. Presentations and discussions from more than 50 distinguished speakers examined contemporary strategies, communication methods and successful case-studies from the fields of Corporate Communication, PR, Media Relations and Political Communication.
The Programme
