"In a year where half the world’s population have been involved in elections, this is an exciting time to be in public affairs. This is a great opportunity to hear from a range of voices that are crucial to the success of public affairs - journalists, PRs, MPs and advisors. I’m looking forward to learning how behavioural science and AI can strengthen the profession’s ability to influence and deliver real change." We are excited to have Angela Balakrishnan, Executive Director of Strategic Communications and Public Affairs at The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO), as our Chair at 'Changing politics, the impact on communications'. Join Angela and our stellar panel of speakers on 21 November at County Hall, London.
