On the occasion of the 20th Annual Session of the Crans Montana Forum held in Brussels (Belgium) from June 24 to 27, the Crans Montana IUHEI organized two Sessions dedicated to “Lobbying Activities in Brussels” and “How to deal with the EU?” on Saturday June 27 in association with Euro-RSCG Worldwide Events.

 

The Sessions were lead by renowned Experts and Senior Executives from Burson-Marsteller, Microsoft, ArcelorMittal, BNP-Paribas, Kellen Europe, the Transatlantic Institute but also by key decision-makers from Governments.

 

These restricted Sessions were a very good opportunity for the 25 participants to learn more on the EU decision-making processes, lobbying activities and the EU relations with third countries. A large amount of experience and practices were exchanged during the two successful Sessions.
