This event is a collection of short tributes to the work of Dr Max Atkinson. Max will also be responding to some of the presentations and adding his own words of wisdom.
You’re invited to the 20th European Speechwriter Network Conference.
This is the conference rescheduled from April 2020. We will, as far as possible keep the same line-up as promised in 2020, (we may use virtual conference facilities if some speakers are not able to appear or we will find appropriate alternatives).
Why attend?
This conference is for anyone wanting to learn from leading lights in the world of speechwriting.
And for people eager to share their experience with their peers.
Corporate, Government and financial cultures need imagination to communicate.
Since 2009, the following speakers have addressed the European Speechwriter Network and UK Speechwriters’ Guild conferences and events.
Many of the contributions have been recorded as podcasts, which are available for download here.
