March 2025

As the first flowers spring up in my garden, I look forward, with anticipation, to what summer will bring. For those of you who will be travelling to Vancouver for the IABC World Conference, we look forward to seeing you in person. We have several excellent speakers representing our region. If you can’t make it, I’m pleased to share with you that we’ve got big regional events planned, and we’ve secured member discount prices for the EACD Summit in Brussels.

Our new communities in Brussels, Amsterdam, Lisbon, Berlin, and now Warsaw are blossoming with events including a community Breakfast in Berlin and City Connect in Brussels. See our photos below!

Over the last five years serving on our IABC EMENA board has been one of the most enriching experiences. Shortly we’ll be announcing applications opening for the 2025/26 board year. If you are interested in learning more, please reach out to our past or present board members. It is a wonderful opportunity to work with Simon Cavendish as the incoming Chair, as I step into the role of Past Chair this July. 

Wishing you a fresh and inspiring April, with new opportunities to bloom,
