Association Executives need to know how the legislation and regulation directives from the administrative centre of Europe will affect their sectors generally and their members in particular. They also need to be aware of the responsible directorates, commissioners and the most effective methods of ensuring that the views of their members are made known. By demonstrating that their views are fully representative of the sector and by providing added value with their input, associations are often able to influence the outcome of EU regulations.

Finding the way through the labyrinth that is the Brussels bureaucracy can be very timeconsuming and difficult and this is why International Association Executive magazine and its strategic partners have joined forces to bring together in Brussels in April 2007 a high-powered team of experts, MEP’s and senior EU staff members to present an authoritative 2 day conference programme that will be formed around the following subject matter:

• The EU Administrative Structure.
• Lobbying at Brussels – how, who and when
• Increase your influence by adding input value
• Safety Standards and Regulations – staying in touch
• Competitiveness and Communication
• Maintaining awareness of your Sector at Brussels

Within the conference programme, there will be a total of six conference themes presented by leading experts in their areas covering most aspects of association interests at Brussels.

The nominal registration fee for the conference programme will be fully inclusive of lunches and all refreshments. A competitively priced delegate package is also available from the Hilton Brussels including overnight accommodation 02/04 when there will be a sponsored networking evening at the Hilton – please ask for details.

Registration, coffee breaks and complimentary lunches will be served in the exhibition area alongside the conference rooms. Here delegates will be able to view the latest developments in products and services specifically designed for association use. Up to 30 exhibitors will feature CRM systems, financial services, group purchase schemes and specialised meeting venues.

Euro-Members 2007 in April will be an essential event for association executives and managers wanting to stay conversant with EU legislation/ regulation and the latest technology/services for their administrative activities.

We are proud to announce that our official supporters include:
