A panel discussion with Baroness Stroud, former Special Adviser to Iain Duncan Smith, and Giles Wilkes former Special Adviser to Vince Cable.

The two former SpAds will offer different perspectives on such areas as:

  • what a SpAd does
  • why they are important and what they can do for public affairs professionals
  • when and how to engage with them
  • where they fit in the grand scheme of things; and
  • the importance of building a futureproofed network.

Following the discussion there will be Q&A and the opportunity to enjoy a drink and network.

Attending this event is worth 5 CPD points.
