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.  

What You’ll Gain from Attending PUBCOM 

  1. Public Affairs 101 – Whether you're a seasoned expert or new to lobbying, PUBCOM covers the essentials of public affairs, from writing impactful government letters to understanding the nuances of parliamentary processes. 

  1. Collaborating with Other AssociationsMany of the challenges faced by one trade association are shared across industries. PUBCOM provides a platform to connect, share insights, and join forces on common lobbying efforts. 

  1. Bring Your Issues to the Table – Struggling to engage with government? Have a pressing regulatory concern? The meeting is an opportunity to discuss these roadblocks with peers and get expert advice on the best strategies for action. 

  1. Practical Resources – PUBCOM isn’t just about discussions; we work on practical tools like a public affairs glossary and guidance for those new to lobbying, making it easier for associations to navigate the landscape. 

  1. Special Guest Speakers – We regularly invite government officials, policy experts, and experienced public affairs professionals to provide valuable insights into how to make your voice heard at the highest levels. 

Public affairs is an essential part of any trade association’s work, and sending someone to PUBCOM ensures your organisation is equipped with the knowledge and connections to be more effective.

Don’t miss the opportunity to engage, learn, and influence – make sure your association is represented at the next PUBCOM meeting on Wednesday 9th April!
