Corporate Affairs Summit Dublin

This one-day event will build on the success of the inaugural summit in 2024, which was attended by around 100 senior in-house professionals. This is not an event for sales pitches, but instead is a carefully collated selection of fireside chats and moderated panel discussions. It is an opportunity for the in-house community to share their thoughts, concerns and issues in a safe environment.

Themes explored over the last few years include: the humanisation of leadership, the role of corporate affairs today, AI for communicators, the political landscape, as well as interviews with the corporate affairs directors of Primark and Axa, and an insightful chat with the CEO of An Post on what the C-suite wants from its comms function.

The event is closed to agencies and other suppliers, with the exception of sponsors.

Thank you for your support.
We are now at capacity.
