The European Association of Communication Directors (EACD), which was founded in Brussels in 2006 by over 100 inhouse communicators from 23 countries, and now has over 1,600 members, is the network for communication professionals from all fields across Europe. It was established to foster diversity, overcome cultural barriers and formulate communicative norms and expectations.
The Association meets the needs of communication professionals working internationally, and provides them with support in the face of the exciting new challenges they deal with in the global arena. The world of communications is constantly in flux as new technologies influence the way communicators work, therefore the Association is committed to providing support and opportunities for its members to learn from their peers.
