Major events and convening

Platforms that define debate, extend stakeholder networks and integrate seamlessly with strategic campaigns

We advise clients on how to effectively use events for impact in specific policy areas or for establishing thought-leadership credentials. This includes providing strategic and on-the-ground support to clients looking to engage on policy discussions at major international conferences such as Davos, COP, Mobile World Congress, Web Summit, Munich Security Conference, Doha Forum, UN General Assembly and more, shaping their messaging and maximise their impact with key stakeholders. 
We also support our clients to establish their own platforms, helping clients to conceptualise and deliver their own events, integrating them seamlessly with advocacy campaigns, stakeholder engagement, and involvement in the policymaking process. We work with clients globally, on the ground and in launching event campaigns in any market where we operate.
