Why Be Represented at PUBCOM?
If your organisation is involved in public affairs – or even if you’re just starting to think about it – there’s no better place to get informed than the Trade Association Forum’s PUBCOM meeting. This is the go-to group for understanding how trade associations can engage with government, influence policy, and collaborate effectively. We welcome everyone from those with years of experience, to those totally new to the public affairs and communications space.
