3 WORKSHOP DATES IN 2017 W1 26 JANUARY W2 9 MARCH W3 27 APRIL W4 22 MAY W5 26 JUNE W6 21 SEPTEMBER W7 27 SEPTEMBER W8 12 OCTOBER W9 OCTOBER Lobbying for Hearts and Minds Getting the balance right Measuring the Impact of Your Public Affairs Efforts Staying Relevant in the EU Policy Space Effective Use of Social Media by Associations Take your association #OneStepAhead with social media The Red Flag moment - Stopping an issue from becoming a crisis Crisis Preparedness: Why being crisis ready is business smart Public Policy Communications in a Post-truth World Effectiveness for Associations: Learnings from a Recent Policy Community Survey
4 W1 26 JANUARY Lobbying for Hearts and Minds Getting the balance right GILES KEANE, FOUNDING PARTNER Presented by Giles Keane Giles is a founding partner of acumen public affairs, with almost 15 years experience in public affairs and public relations consultancy. He has worked across a range sectors and policy areas including food & agriculture, environment & energy, healthcare and technology. This will be the sixth year that he has presented a module at the Yellow Academy. Sometimes facts alone are not enough to convince decision makers. At the same time, the most emotionally convincing messages can have little impact unless they are backed up by practical proposals. This session will look at practical examples of how organisations have struck a good balance between hard and soft lobbying and engaged successfully with policy makers on both a technical and more human level.
5 W2 9 MARCH Measuring the Impact of Your Public Affairs Efforts JAMES STEVENS, SENIOR VICE-PRESIDENT & SENIOR PARTNER Presented by James Stevens For nearly two decades, James has worked with a variety of clients across a range of sectors to develop, implement and measure public affairs strategies of all shapes and sizes. As a discipline, public affairs is widely misunderstood by businesses and other organisations, which often struggle to grasp its utility. After all, success in the public affairs world often comes only after years, whilst business remains focused on this quarter s bottom line. Using a variety of trade association-focused case studies, this session will help you build a measurement framework that clearly articulates your progress towards achieving a business or policy objective. In short, this session will help you explain your impact on your organization s bottom line.
6 W3 27 APRIL Staying Relevant in the EU Policy Space ELLEN HOF, ACCOUNT MANAGER Presented by Ellen Hof (left) and Magda Kalata (right) Ellen is Account Manager at Hill+Knowlton Strategies, specialising in food and nutrition. She advises a variety of international clients and trade associations at both Belgian and EU level on legislative and regulatory issues. Previously, she has worked at EuropaBio, the European trade association for the biotechnology industry. As the world of public affairs, advocacy and communications in Brussels evolves so too has it become increasingly important for practitioners particularly those who have recently entered the profession to evolve their own knowledge and skills, and to rethink what it means to practice public affairs and advocacy in Nowhere is the need to understand these changes and what they mean for young professionals more acute than in the heart of Europe. Where once PA practitioners needed only a rolodex and deep understanding of the inner working of the institutions, now they need to understand the increasingly important role of technology to share information and build networks, navigate and manage significantly more complex stakeholder environments, and effectively orchestrate an increasingly diverse web of channels in order to reach and influence decision-makers. At H+K, our young leaders are at the forefront of re-defining what it means to be a public affairs practitioner in the 21st century. In this session, they will share their own experiences, and provide guidance on how we must all change what we do and how we think in order to stay relevant in the years ahead. MAGDA KALATA, ACCOUNT MANAGER Magda is an Account Manager at Hill+Knowlton Strategies. She works with healthcare clients on initiatives related to medical technology, pharmaceuticals, e/mhealth and institutional engagement. Prior to joining H+K she was a Government Affairs & Public Policy Officer at the European Diagnostic Manufacturers Association and is the former President of the European Health Parliament.
7 W4 22 MAY Effective Use of Social Media by Associations RENÉ SCHRODER, SENIOR ASSOCIATION MANAGER Presented by René Schroder New social media channels, such as Twitter, Linkedin and Facebook allow for a direct communication and interaction with an audience compared to more traditional ways of communication. Against this background, an increasing number of associations are making use of social media to complement their communication activities. In the Euractiv Yellow Academy session, we will be showing some examples of how associations are successfully using social media to convey their messages and to position themselves to their target audience. René Schroeder works as a Senior Association Manager for Kellen, the premier global association management company providing services in the fields of strategic advice, government affairs, market research and communication to associations and corporations worldwide. He has previously worked for different EU associations, and holds a postgraduate master s degree in European studies from the College of Europe as well as a master in political science from the University of Rostock, Germany.

9 W6 21 SEPTEMBER The Red Flag moment - Stopping an issue from becoming a crisis SÉAMUS CONBOY, DIRECTOR OF CAMPAIGNS & EU AFFAIRS Presented by Séamus Conboy Every business or organisation has issues - risks, sensitivities and other potential exposures - which if left unattended can develop into a full blown crisis. But horizon scanning and early intervention - at the Red Flag moment - is an essential part of managing risk and avoiding crisis. As Head of Red Flag s Brussels office, Séamus leads national and international political, regulatory and communications campaigns on behalf of Red Flag s multinational corporate clients, and manages engagement with the European Institutions. Before joining Red Flag, Séamus worked as an adviser with a government party, as a public affairs consultant and as Communications Officer for a representative body. He is responsible for shaping campaign strategy for Red Flag s clients. This session will look at how organisation can take a step back from the day-to-day to plan for the issue on the horizon, and how they can build the integrated campaigns necessary to avoid potentially significant business impacts. impacts. Using examples from global campaigns which Red Flag conceived and executed, we will show how integrated communications can not only avert potentially massive crises, but even turn crisis into opportunity
10 W7 27 SEPTEMBER Crisis Preparedness: Why being crisis ready is business smart GEORGE CANDON, SENIOR DIRECTOR Presented by George Candon George is Senior Director in the FTI Consulting Strategic Communications practice in Brussels. He is a specialist in crisis communications, reputation management and risk mitigation communications. He has led sensitive crisis communications projects for several major international companies. He has managed ongoing risk mitigation projects, led on restructuring crisis projects, and is a seasoned trainer with a track record in coaching c-suite executives in risk mitigation and crisis management.
11 W8 12 OCTOBER Public Policy Communications in a Post-truth World KONSTANTINOS MARAGKAKIS, ASSOCIATE DIRECTOR Presented by Konstantinos Maragkakis Coined-up as a term that firstly became popular through an Economist cover, post-truth is now all the rage. We live in a post-truth world, we have post-truth politics, RIP facts (as per the excellent Daily Show clip), fake news dominate real news outlets, etc. But is this so from a daily public policy communications practice perspective? Is it true that facts do not matter? Are we the public affairs professionals now addressing policy-makers in a post-truth world? From a practical approach, with case studies and factual experience, we will try to ascertain this. We will also try through examples and teamwork try to fix situations where the facts seemed not to have mattered (or was that so?) and reach conclusions and best practices by pooling our collective thoughts and ideas together. Konstantinos is an EU government relations and communications executive since 2002, having worked in New York, Athens, and being established in Brussels since He specializes in ICT, gambling, and healthy nutrition having held senior management positions in a UK multinational as Head of Communications for Europe and with a significant track-record organizing managing national public affairs and communications strategies and operations in EU member states (Belgium, Cyprus, Denmark, Germany, Greece, Italy, and Romania). Konstantinos has also extensive experience as well in establishing and managing associations and positioning them in the national and EU institutional map. He has also significant expertise in communications and media relations, helping organizations fine-tune their messages, enhance their visibility, and position themselves effectively in today s dense and complex media (and social media) environment.
12 W9 OCTOBER Effectiveness for Associations: Learnings from a Recent Policy Community Survey CHRIS LEVY, DIRECTOR, EUROPE Presented by Chris Levy Chris is a stakeholder and public opinion research consultant, working with APCO s wider public affairs team in Brussels and elsewhere. His current focus is on industry/ corporate positioning and issues management. Previous work included a spell managing the Eurobarometer on behalf of the Commission, and at YouGov one of the UK s most prominent political polling firms. The TradeMarks survey measures the extent to which Brussels policy leaders believe associations are effective in achieving their policy goals for their members. The survey is conducted every two years by APCO Insight. TradeMarks is the first study to ever tackle the question of association effectiveness with a formal, systematic and objective approach. The TradeMarks model pinpoints the specific actions that can be taken to achieve optimal impact in each area and quantitatively determines the relative impact of each factor. It allows us not only to measure effectiveness, but also to provide an actionable roadmap to associations for how to increase their perceived effectiveness and achieve their desired outcomes.
