The PACE Annual Summit is returning, and this year, Spain takes centre stage.
On May 21st, PACE’s annual flagship event will be hosted in one of Madrid’s most emblematic institutional venues: the Senate of Spain. After 14 years, the PACE Annual Summit returns to Madrid, this time hosted by the Asociación de Profesionales de las Relaciones Institucionales (APRI), which passes the baton from Italy and brings the conference back to the heart of the Iberian Peninsula.
The conference will bring together Public Affairs professionals, academics, and media representatives from across Europe for a full day of discussion, reflection, and exchange. Panels will cover the state of the profession in Spain, a cross-country review of Public Affairs across Europe, emerging career paths within the sector, and the geopolitical and economic context shaping the work of practitioners today.
As always, the event will also bring together PACE members to discuss the association’s priorities, activities, and future direction. If your association is a PACE member, be sure to join us in Madrid.
A warm thank you to APRI and all the Spanish colleagues involved in the organisation of this edition. Events of this scale are built on months of behind-the-scenes effort, and we are grateful for their commitment to the PACE community.
We look forward to welcoming our community to Madrid.
