CONFERENCE PROGRAMME
Internet and digital technologies are transforming our societies, bringing with them an incredible potential for new opportunities, but also new challenges and threats.
We would like to take this opportunity to invite you to the next Future Media Lounge event, to take place in Brussels on Tuesday, 16 June in the European Parliament, from 18:00-20:00.
Digital advocacy is assuming an increasingly important role in Brussels. What’s working to engage European policymakers? Can social media platforms help you find other advocates? Which tools work best?
