SUMMARY:Navigating Industrial Evolution: Communication at Heart of Public Affairs
DESCRIPTION:Navigating Industrial Evolution: Communication at Heart of Public Affairs with Karoliina Rasi\nWednesday\, May 6\, 2026\n1:00 PM – 1:30 PM CEST (Central European Summer Time)\n \nJoin a 30-min session with Karoliina Rasi to explore EU policy\, climate\, and trade and build stronger public affairs strategies. \nIn this session\, she will explore how to build effective relationships within the European Parliament and Commission to help drive policy outcomes. She will also discuss how to communicate sustainability through the lens of “sustainable stainless steel” and manage the transition toward greener energy solutions such as green hydrogen. In addition\, she will share best practices for coordinating multinational public affairs teams across diverse linguistic and political environments\, and explain how to integrate corporate communications with public relations in times of crisis\, particularly around trade and climate-related issues. \nThis session will help you better understand how to manage complex stakeholder environments by balancing the competing priorities of industry\, trade\, and climate policy at the European level. It will offer a valuable look inside the Brussels ecosystem and how public affairs professionals influence decision-making within EU institutions. You will also gain insight into key issues shaping today’s business environment\, including critical raw materials and supply chain efficiency\, along with practical lessons drawn from Karoliina’s extensive experience across sectors such as transport\, technology\, and metals. \nKaroliina Rasi brings a deep understanding of political and societal dynamics\, making this a unique opportunity to learn from a leading expert in European public affairs.

SUMMARY:If Managers Don't Own The Message\, You Don't Own the Culture.
DESCRIPTION:Why Culture Lives (or Dies) in the Middle and what communicators can do about it.\nMost organizations say culture matters\, then treat managers as message carriers rather than culture builders. That’s the mistake. Employees don’t experience “the company.” \nThey experience their manager. If managers read slides\, culture feels scripted. If they spark real dialogue\, culture becomes real. \nThis session shows communicators how to stop pushing talking points and start equipping managers to translate strategy\, invite conversation\, surface concerns\, and send insight back up. \nBecause culture isn’t built when leaders speak. It’s built when managers make meaning. \nYou’ll learn: \n\nA clear model for turning managers into two-way communication channels — not corporate megaphones.\nSimple tools to help managers translate strategy into “what this means for us.”\nA practical way to spark dialogue instead of dumping information.\nA system for capturing real stories from the floor — the raw material of culture.\nA framework for closing the feedback loop so employees see their voices move upward.\nA shift from measuring distribution to measuring understanding\, ownership\, and action.
