The presentations will focus on how to use clear and concise messaging, selecting appropriate communication channels, and tailoring information to suit the specific needs and interests of the target groups. We are looking for insightful presentations that highlight challenges and lessons learned - i.e. do you use an innovative tool/platform that supports your work in project comms? how do you deal with multi-lingual countries? how do you connect and communicate? how do you plan ahead?
