Berlin Comms Coffee Meetup February 2026
2026-02-27 09:00 - 11:00 (Europe/Berlin) | 19grams Alex – Coffee Roastery, Karl-Liebknecht-Str. 13, Berlin, Berlin, 10178, Germany
Berlin Comms Coffee Meetup — 27 February 2026
⚡☕Some of the best professional conversations happen in small groups, over coffee, with people who genuinely understand the work.
On Friday, 27 February, the IABC EMENA community is gathering in Berlin for an energizing morning meetup with communication professionals from across the city and beyond. This is a chance to step out of the usual rush, reconnect with familiar faces, and meet new ones across corporate, agency, and independent roles.
The format is intentionally informal and community-led. People come to exchange perspectives on the realities of the profession, share what they are working on, and spend time with peers they rarely get to see in one place. The group will stay small to keep the atmosphere easy and conversational.
If you’re in Berlin that day and would enjoy a thoughtful gathering with the local IABC community, join us:
Date: Friday, 27 February 2026
Time: 09:00-11:00
Location: 19grams Alex
Registration: via our LinkedIn Events section is required to keep the group curated.
Space is limited and excitement is high, so register today to secure your seat at the table. This is a casual get-together — food and drinks will be available for individual purchase.
🚨 Important note: only registered attendees with a confirmation message from IABC EMENA will receive the entry details. Keep an eye on your inbox!
👉 What is IABC?
The International Association of Business Communicators (IABC) is a global network of communication professionals across 80 countries.

Communication Leadership Summit 2026
2026-04-17 10:00 - 19:30 (Europe/Brussels) | Full Circle Brussels, 89 Chaussée de Vleurgat, Ixelles, Belgium, 1050, Belgium
The Communication Leadership Summit returns to Brussels for a second edition on 17 April.
Most events for communication professionals focus on sharpening individual skills, refining strategy, or building executive presence.
The Communication Leadership Summit takes a different approach and asks: What can we achieve together?
Last year, 75+ senior communication leaders gathered in Brussels to explore the future of our profession. They left with some of the most valuable conversations they’d had all year and a global network of peers.
This April, we’re doing it again.
What makes this event different
The summit is a full-day “unconference”: a facilitated session powered by the people in the room. There are no panels, keynotes, or preset agendas.
Instead, participants lead the conversation and tackle the biggest challenges facing our profession together.
The format is designed to spark bold ideas, build meaningful connections, and rethink what leadership means, both individually and collectively.
What will we talk about?
The agenda is open. Anyone can propose a session: a question you’re wrestling with, a challenge you’re facing, something you’re curious about.
Last year, people suggested topics like:

Measuring the ROI of communication (and getting leadership to care)
Leading communication through organizational change and uncertainty
Building and retaining high-performing teams on tight budgets
How to get a seat at the executive table – and keep it
The future of our profession and how we shape it
Personal branding for communication leaders
Employee engagement when trust is broken
Integrating AI into communication teams

If a topic matters to you, lead it. If you’re curious, join it. If it’s not delivering value, move to another conversation. You’re in charge of your own experience.
Who should attend
The Communication Leadership Summit is for communication professionals ready to shape both the future of the profession and their own role in it.
You’ll get the most from the event if you are:

A senior communication leader – Chief Communication Officer, Director, or Head of Communication – who shapes strategy and drives organizational impact
A senior advisor, strategist, or consultant leading change in the profession
An agency or freelance leader looking to connect, influence, and collaborate globally
An ambitious early- or mid-career professional aspiring to leadership roles

Whether you’re already at the top or preparing to step up, the event gives you the space to connect with peers, shape the conversation, and co-create the future of communication.
Why you should be in the room
Here’s why you should join us:

Shape the profession’s future
Be part of bold conversations about making communication essential to business success and redefining how its impact is measured.

Connect with peers who get it
Meet communication leaders who share your challenges and ambitions. Build a network you can turn to for ideas, support, and collaboration long after the summit ends.

Get clarity and confidence
Get practical strategies you can use right away to inspire your team, influence decision-makers, and demonstrate your value.

Move your priorities forward
Whether you’re integrating AI, securing resources, or building stakeholder trust, you’ll leave with actionable next steps.

Stay ahead of change
Explore the trends reshaping our profession – from AI to evolving workplace expectations – and learn how to navigate them successfully.
