Welcome to the annual conference of the EAPC family. This time in a very special city, Izmir/Turkey.
Look forward to an extraordinary beginning of autumn and take your time – for our EAPC Europe Conference from September 11 to 13, 2023 in Izmir/Turkey, very close to the Turkish vacation regions. Experience an extraordinary conference program and unique social events, such as visiting the House of the Virgin Mary and the historic city of Ephesus. And if you feel like it, extend your stay with a fantastic beach vacation. September is an ideal time for this. With the early bird bonus, you save good money.
The main theme of the Europe Conference:
“Disenchantment, mistrust and lies:
Do we need to rethink
political campaigning?”
Our world has become harsher. Negative campaigning, the spread of mistrust and hate have become the norm in everyday political life. And hatred divides society, as the examples of the storming of the Capitol in the U.S. and the government quarter in Brasilia/Brazil, show us. This climate not only endangers Western democracy, it also prevents rapid, positive further development, which would be so important right now – especially in view of the climate situation. Wouldn’t it be time for a rethink? And what would be the role of political advisors and campaigners in this? These are questions that we want to provide a stage for in Izmir. Every contribution counts. Your participation can be the start of a new way of thinking.
Book your participation and stay at Hotel Marriott now.

Bring your loved ones or invite a student!
The opportunity to spend May in Izmir, but also the unique social program are reasons enough to register for the conference with your loved ones this time. Also, the very reasonable registration fee for one accompanying person, which does not include the participation in the conference, but the whole social program – from cocktail reception to Epheses, Izmir Old Town and Gala Dinner – should convince you. In addition, this year we have introduced a separate “student category” for which we would like participants to invite an additional student and cover the conference costs for him/her. Here we would like to see a strong interest.
