THE MUST-ATTEND CONFERENCE FOR PUBLIC POLICY PROS!

The past decade has seen dramatic developments in political ideologies, diplomacy wars, redrafted trade agreements, the rise of populism and disruption, and shifts in how technology is being used as a political tool or weapon. As we approach a new decade, what are the challenges we will have to face as a country? How can public affairs professionals be equipped to leverage them?

On October 7, several experts will share their visionary insights and practical guidance for the challenges of the 2020s, and the policies or advocacy approaches for which we should prepare.

See conference brochure for full details.
