First European Agenda Summit on Political Communication, Campaigning and Lobbying. The European Agenda Summit is a constructive platform for political communication, management and lobbying which welcomes decision-makers from politics and business both inside and outside the EU. Taking place at a crucial date - right after the challenging US elections and just before the European Parliament elections in 2009 - this year's Summit aims to explore the question "What can we learn from America?" in terms of public affairs, political communication and campaigning. Keynotes will be given by six renowned American political communication and public affairs professionals. The relevance of their American perspective for Europe will be discussed along with many other topics related to European affairs and political communication in 40 workshops, Best Cases and panels.
