We are pleased to announce that we have partnered with the World Communication Forum for their event in Geneva from 13-17 March 2017. GCN members receive a special discount (details sent by email).

The aim of the World Forum is to unite trend-makers and influencers from the global communications elite and provide a platform for discussion focused on the future development of communications and their role in business, society and politics; to provoke in-depth analysis of the form and content of interaction between business, media, and society, on the one hand, and the state, on the other. What all communicators need today is a global network for distributing best practices achieved in crisis communications or change/reputation management and useful strategies applied in investor relations, employee motivation, government lobbying, etc.
