Europe’s leading conference on corporate communication from the International Association of Business Communicators Europe Middle East Region takes place on April 7 and 8 in Turin, Italy

Starting today, EuroComm 2011 features a line-up of great speakers, from the opening keynote by Stephane Dujarric, the Director for News and Media for the United Nations overseeing all of the UN’s television, radio and web services; to Anna Maria Altamura, Communications Director of fashion house Missoni on how communication helped the fashion industry survive the financial crisis. There are case study presentations by communicators that run the full range of issues faced in large organizations across Europe and the Middle East.

A highlight of EuroComm 2011 is the Gala Dinner on April 7. For the first time the Regional Gold Quill Awards – the EMEralds – will be presented to winners throughout Europe and the Middle East.
