With a Federal Election nearing, the implications for communications and corporate affairs leaders has never been more pressing.
This event will cover:
What are the likely scenarios post-election?
What can we learn from abroad - communications as a tool vs weapon, and the politicisation of DEI?
How can communication professionals help their leaders and organisations find their voice in an age of increasing politicisation, digitisation and mistrust?
How can organisations engage and influence a potential minority government? What are the new rules of engagement?
This event will be hosted under Chatham House Rules.
