The Next Stage of Communications As the old saying goes, change is the only constant – and as communicators we eagerly anticipate the innovations that bring changes to our profession every day. The last few years have witnessed new tools and technologies advancing at an unprecedented rate, affecting communication patterns in yet untold ways. The digital arena has evolved into an omnipresent and endlessly multifaceted outlet for human expression, interactions and experiences. The internet is in a constant state of evolution and all of this activity creates new challenges for communications. For this year’s European Communication Summit, we invite you to reflect upon the next digital stage, its impact on our environments and how to effectively engage communications with new levels of connectivity. The first Summit Day will provide us with ample opportunity to dive into this topic as we open with the evolution of global digital media, host our first Main Session exploring digital communications 3.0 and introduce an exciting new Trend Spotting session where top digital leaders will talk about successfully anticipating the next ‘big thing’.

Together with over 600 peers, you will have the chance to explore future innovations and trends and discuss how we communicators can best meet the challenges that are transforming both our daily work and the profession as a whole. This year’s Summit will showcase the innovative spirit which is innate in our field of work and within us as individuals. With over 60 speakers delivering insights into the-state-of-the-art of the communication landscape, the 8th European Communication Summit will be a great platform for exchange, debate and networking, as well as for reflection on how we can connect communications and engage with our audiences and stakeholders in the next digital stage.

The European Communication Summit
Europe’s leading platform for corporate communicators
We are looking forward to hosting the 8th European Communication Summit on July 10th and 11th, 2014. In the last seven years, over 3,200 communicators have met in Brussels to discuss the state-of-the-art of our profession, explore the latest communications trends, and of course to network with colleagues from all over the continent. With a return rate of over 60%, our participants have built and sustained a lively community with the majority joining the European Association of Communication Directors. While most of our attendees are indeed based in Europe, we have welcomed participants who have travelled from farther away - we have greeted participants from places such as
Japan, South Africa, Mauritius, Peru, Canada, the United States, China and Australia. In total, we have welcomed attendees from over 55 countries. Moreover, in addition to being exceptionally multicultural, the Summit is particularly interdisciplinary as well. Over the past seven years we have welcomed over 400 speakers from many various industries such as health, banking, IT and computing, transportation, food and beverage, publishing, energy, consumer goods, government and NGOs to name but a few. We are delighted to welcome you to the European Communication Summit which we are certain will continue to expand the horizons of Europeans and others from all fields of work.

One week later, AOL announced it had acquired the biggest newspaper on the web, The Huffington Post, where Jimmy is now the CEO.

Communicating the EU Elections Campaign: Tops & Flops
DAY ONE 11.15- 12.45
The EP’s own campaign “Act. React. Impact.” has as the tagline “This time it’s different.” But perhaps the biggest difference this time is the potential for smaller, more extreme parties to seize greater share of media attention. How have they done it? How have the larger (pro-Europe) parties in the center responded to counteract the headline-grabbing? What proved most effective in the end? This extended session will debate the tactics used by the parties and the Parliament itself as an institution to capture the imagination of voters in the time leading up to the EP elections in May 2014.

Lufthansa is one of the most trusted & well known brands in Europe. With 350 weekly flights from Europe, the Lufthansa Group is one of the key European airline players in the US. But gaining and sustaining visibility in a fragmented market with dominating US carriers is an ongoing challenge – even more as PR budgets are limited.
The reputation of financial services providers is in bad shape. Professional communication alone cannot solve the problem. What is needed? A true culture change towards fulfilling customer needs and meeting societal expectations. A unique chance for corporate communicators to instill a “new” corporate behavior.

Yet, copyright is needed more than ever on the Internet. Should our organizations own content or are we already part of the sharing society?

Innovative tools and novel possibilities are calling to re-invent communications once again to master digital communications in the next stage.

Coca-Cola goes Publisher: Building Social Value: Brick by Brick “Coca-Cola Journey”
Just when you thought things were crystal clear, the digital landscape started shifting at such a rate it’s hard to keep up with it, let alone understand where it is headed. Communicators and brands need to understand how to embrace a more humanized experience, where attention is becoming the new currency measured by dwell time and engagement, not clicks, and where the art of storytelling is less about “telling” and more about “story”. Jump on this roller coaster for what will certainly be a dynamic, energetic and inspiring presentation by David Shing, Digital Prophet for AOL.
Nearly one year ago, the online magazine “Coca-Cola Journey” filled the shoes of Coca-Cola GmbH’s Corporate Website and thus became a digital publisher. Coca-Cola Journey focuses entirely on editorial content with the main objective to further extend its digital consumer communications. An editorial team prepares entertaining content covering both internal & external topics. In addition, the online magazine features comments, videos, infographics and news from Coke’s Corporate Blog. Comment and share functions allow user interaction. Activities on various social channels accompany the Journey storytelling.
In the age of social media, consumers’ connectedness is omnipresent and yet still rising and thus a consumer focused social media strategy has become inevitable for any B2C company. Lars Silberbauer-Andersen is Global Director of Social Media & Search at LEGO, driving the well-known and innovative toy company’s social media strategy to an ever-changing consumer landscape.

INVOLVING EMPLOYEES: 2.0 COMMUNICATION STRATEGY
THE VALUE OF DATA IN CORPORATE COMMUNICATIONS
The organizations operate in the reputation economy where trust is earned not only from senior management but also from each employee. It becomes imperative therefore to generate many relevant conversations with all the stakeholders. This requires engaging and involving employees in the 2.0 communication strategy.
Why is web analytics undervalued? What data would better serve the needs of corporate communicators? What can we learn from data-use in Marketing to inform strategies and investment decisions? Addison Group will demonstrate how web analytics can provide relevant and actionable insights, helping companies to develop a closer sense of engagement.

The Participation Culture and Economy
Are Video Profiles the Next Big Thing?
The Future of Social & Mobile Work
Wikipedia, Crowdfunding, Massive Open Online Courses, Open Innovation, Twitter & Facebook - We live in the midst of a rapidly growing culture of participation. By combining technology and the power of networks, a whole generation of creators refuses to play by the old rules and instead creates a new playing field with exponential growth. In his talk, Pascal, a German-born Silicon Valley entrepreneur, will explore the trend, provide an outlook into the future and deliver actionable steps to participate in this new era of communications.
Video is taking over the social media space in the form of content, but what if we could see every person in the world in a video format? Hanna gives us the newest from the video space and the story behind Wonderloop; the world’s first video-profiling app changing the way we connect. The vision is to not only change the way companies hire, but to have a platform where we can see every person in the world with the click of a button. What will this mean for LinkedIn, where are the digital natives going and what can we learn from them for our communication work?
Jon will be talking about how work is changing to become a thing you do, not a place you go. Learn how mobile and flexible work-styles are becoming the norm as the first generation of network collaborators are entering the labour market. A generation that has never used mail, instead they bring mobile and social tools to get things done. Drawing upon his diverse experience, Jon will share a framework for understanding how these shifts call for new and radically different work tools and practices. Tools and practices that are as flexible, mobile and social as the people who use them. 19

Keynote COMMUNICATING THE ROMANCE OF INNO VATION
DAY TWO 9.15 - 10.00
Too many people reduce the concept of innovation to the digital domain. Too many believe that innovation is simply speeding up “exponentially”. Too many reduce innovation to creativity, and then reduce creativity to play. Today’s impediments to innovation – economic, but also regulatory and cultural – form a more interesting subject. Discussing those impediments in a sober but inspiring style can convey the romance of the endeavour, and the heroism of innovators. From medicine to outer space, scientists and technologists have risked their lives in that unfashionable cause – progress. Communicating the risks of and frequent prejudice against innovation would do much to rehabilitate it in the West. In this talk, James will indicate how to raise the intellectual level of communication about innovation.
James Woudhuysen is Professor of Forecasting and Innovation at De Montfort University, Leicester, UK. James helped install Britain’s first computer controlled car park in 1986 before graduating in physics. After that, he moved on working with some of the world’s leading companies. James tries to register trends before other people, and offers counter-intuitive proposals on what to do about those trends. 27
DAY TWO
MAIN SESSION
10.00 - 11.15
TWO Broadening The Picture:Innovating Communications
Communications is changing in unprecedented ways. In today’s digital world communicators must think outside-the-box and work with traditional standards of communicating in new creative and unique ways. Learn from experts exactly why innovation and communications go hand-in-hand and how to effectively utilise them together. Julia Leihener Service Designer & Head of Creation Center, Telekom Innovation Laboratories
Kate James Chief Corporate Affairs Officer, Pearson
Prof. Dr. Christof Ehrhart Executive Vice President, Head of Corporate Communications, Deutsche Post DHL
Design Thinking: Innovation Communications
The War for Talent and Technology
Reputation in the Age of the Critical Stakeholder
Innovation does not work without communication as it involves thinking and acting cross silos, working in interdisciplinary teams, and engaging the user as well as the client. Innovation requires communication and education to prepare a fruitful soil for ideas to develop and grow. Telekom Innovation Laboratories Creation Center’s eEtiquette is a best practice innovation communication example which follows the process of design thinking. Learn how design thinking is shaping the way we communicate in today’s digital world and how to facilitate such thinking in the corporate structure.
The combination of the right talent and the right technology is absolutely critical to success in communications. The changing media landscape presents new global opportunities, new scale and reach for content marketing, a mix of campaigns, consistent engagement and data as a means for decision making. That is why now, more than ever, a new breed of communicator just as comfortable with technology and data as well as equipped with core communications skills is imperative for success. We look forward to welcoming Kate James, Chief Corporate Affairs Officer at Pearson on stage.
Opinion leaders, gate keepers and target groups: Strategic communication is still deeply rooted in the traditional logic of modern mass communication. For corporate communications practitioners there is much to learn from the stakeholder management approach which is applied in fields of Corporate Responsibility. The integration of communications and sustainability into one central department has given Deutsche Post DHL the opportunity to move reputation management to the next level connecting with stakeholders and establishing sustainable communications to deliver for our tomorrow.

HOW TO BE A BANK & AN EU INSTITUTION AT THE SAME TIME
Successful communications increasingly depend on what people say to each other about an organisation, no longer on what the organisation says about itself. Modern lifestyle creates a serious challenge to brand management. How should we engage with audiences? How can communications demonstrate impact both locally & globally?
With trust damaged following the banking crisis and the European project losing its appeal with European citizens, does this present an opportunity or threat for the EIB? Over the last years, building our financial and society brand has become centre point of our communication strategy. What works and where are the potential pit-falls?

REPUTATION MANAGEMENT
BRANDING: A CURE AGAINST CUSTOMER STALKING
STATING YOUR PURPOSE AND LIVING UP TO IT
Mattèo Piano will explain how companies are stalking their customers. He will elaborate on a number of misconceptions about branding and how a paradigm shift from stalking to relationship holds the key to profitable branding as branding is nothing more or less than engaging in a inexchangeable relationship.
When a traditional, century-old Swiss pharmaceuticals company integrates with a pioneering US Bay Area biotech, it gets complicated to answer the question, “Who are you and what do you stand for?” Roche communicators are facing this reputation challenge right now. This session will fill you in on what they’re learning.

The social data revolution has impacted our lifestyles and communication patterns in many untold ways: Everyone can now generate content, share personal information, our data is stored in the cloud, and our identities no longer exists solely in the physical world but also the digital. While there is much reason for anticipation and optimism, there are also uncertainties and some cynicism. This conflicted environment will mandate companies to work even harder to earn and sustain the trust of their users, audiences and stakeholders. Join our expert round to discuss which role communicators play in securing and protecting valuable data in today’s ever-changing digital world.
