IAPC: London Calling! Political and Public Affairs Consultants Around the World to Gather at 2022 Conference, Nov. 14-16 - London, England
Washington, DC (ots)
The International Association of Political Consultants (IAPC) announced that it will hold its annual international conference in London, England from November 14 to 16 at the Royal Horseguards Hotel.
"This in-person conference is an opportunity to bring together leading consultants to discuss democracy and how political discourse shapes our society," said Matthew Klink, IAPC president. "Democracy is under attack around the world. We need preserve, defend and promote a system that encourages political participation, a free press and respect for human rights."
Klink went on to say, "IAPC members have been at the forefront of promoting democracy. This year the IAPC Democracy Medal was awarded to Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the People of Ukraine for their heroic efforts to preserve their democracy from the brutal onslaught of Vladimir Putin and his army."
"Leading political consultants, pollsters, analysts and public affairs experts coming from around the world will compare and contrast strategies and tactics that influence politics and democracy in their region," said Thomas Borwick, conference organizer.
Borwick added, "After three years of not being able to meet in person we look forward to welcoming IAPC members and guests to London, where they will enjoy the finest of British hospitality. We are planning an exciting conference agenda that takes advantage of what London has to offer with sessions that will be practical and useful for those in campaigns and public affairs."
