CIPR CEO to discuss public diplomacy and Brexit in Ghent
The Chief Executive Officer of the Chartered Institute of Public Relations (CIPR), Alastair McCapra, will provide a public diplomacy perspective on Brexit at a panel discussion in Belgium on 6 February.
The event, organised by the MARPE Network, will offer varied and informed perspectives, exploring Brexit through the lens of public, corporate and civic diplomacy.
Other panellists include:
- Nicolas Baygert - Professor, ULB, IHECS, Sciences Po Paris, CELSA
- Pierluigi Puglia - Head of Communications, British Embassy, Rome
- Nicholas Whyte - Senior Director, APCO Global Solutions
The UK’s international reputation is affected by the Brexit process, whatever the outcome may be. We may also need to consider whether soft power has come to the end of its usefulness, for Britain and for a number of other counties.
The event is free to attend and will take place at the Kantienberg campus of the Arteveldehogeschool in Ghent. It will also be broadcast live on the MAPRE Facebook page and questions can be proposed on Facebook or Twitter using #MARPEdiplo.
