About the Festival
The world is changing. Polarisation, global affairs and technology pose new dynamics and challenges to communicators and campaigners. What is more, they are changing politics and business. Parties, companies and NGOs representing their interests ask, how can we keep up with a changing society?
The Political Campaign Festival is the international event for communicators, campaigners and Public Affairs experts that will look beyond today and into the future of campaigning. Come and connect with experts and campaigners from around the world and gain insight into the skills and knowledge needed to shape the changing environment of campaigning. We invite you to come and be part of THE FUTURE OF POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS.

From Big Data to Personalized Outreach: Can We Trust its Future?
Digital platforms collect a lot of personal data about us. How can this data be used for political campaigns? What are the legal, ethical, and political issues? How is the use of digital technology reshaping our society? And how can we build a digital society, in which we really like to live in? What implications does this have for future campaigns? These are the questions Prof. Helbing will address in his talk

LOVING THE SPEED: Campaigning without speed is like a parliamentary session without debating or like a football game without goals. As it comes to campaigning, it is crucial to be fast. It is about identifying a topic, translating it into a campaign concept and feeding it to the right channels. Within 60 minutes we will develop a rough campaign approach together. It will be a blast!
