Preparing for success in European public affairs — the perspectives of five women practitioners
Featured Topic & Speakers
Being a successful interest representative in Brussels is no easy feat. It requires public affairs professionals to be resourceful and resilient, and able to cope rapidly with the complexities and expectations of a constantly changing environment. What are the key challenges and opportunities for women lobbyists in Brussels?
This panel discussion will be an opportunity to hear from five senior public affairs practitioners and exchange views on:
- Obstacles faced by women lobbyists in Brussels, and how to overcome them
- Perceptions and expectations from external interlocutors
- Support structures, multipliers and insider tips for public affairs managers and leaders
- Future trends and hot issues to watch out for in the profession
